Everyday Edisons

About The Show, Everyday Edisons
After a successful first season of Everyday Edisons they are in production on Season 2 and have just finished casting calls for Season 3. The show is named for and follows in the footsteps of the greatest inventor of all time, Thomas Edison. With over 1000 invention patents to his credit, Edison invented such useful items as the phonograph and incandescent light bulb and produced the first talking moving picture.

Big Idea Group Hunts

Deadline for these hunts will be August 5, 2008.

Two Idea Hunts are on for a major electronics company. Our client, a large electronics company, is interested in innovations in both patient monitoring systems and mobile social networking devices. The prizes in both Hunts are the same: a $5,000 first prize, plus $1,000 apiece to four runners-up. In addition, all ideas will be evaluated for licensing.  Click here for entry forms and guidelines (www.bigideahunts.net).

SOLUTIONS IN PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEMS
Our client is seeking to develop hospital patient monitors that are uniquely simple yet smart. These new monitors will offer greater ease of use, maintenance, and repair. We’re also seeking innovative marketing, sales, and service ideas to help sell such devices. Devices should be aimed at U.S. hospitals, international and secondary facilities (e.g., long-term care), and home care. We are most interested in brand solutions—innovations in interface design and technology that could work across multiple monitors.

SOCIAL NETWORKING DEVICE
Our client is seeking to develop a mobile device that allows users to share ideas and experiences from anywhere. This single-purpose social networking device (SND) will let users capture, enhance, or create a variety of media and then distribute or publish it to friends, coworkers, or the Internet. We expect the device to appeal to a broad group of users, from young people Twittering about their lives to professionals updating associates via email while on the road.
