In the Netherlands, patients face long waiting times and cumbersome call systems when trying to book a doctor’s appointment. Traditional methods—whether through overloaded phone lines or outdated forms and emails—create frustration and delays. These inefficiencies not only add stress during times of need but also risk delaying essential care, especially when immediate guidance or an appointment is critical.

Every morning, many people's willpower dies before the day even starts. The problem being addressed by Naomi is morning fatigue and difficulty waking up, which lead to underperformance. Inefficient waking methods disrupt the natural sleep cycle, causing stress, exhaustion, and decreased productivity. This can negatively impact mental health, leading to poor decision-making and reduced performance in both personal and professional life.

MS patients with loss in handfunction rely on access to grasping hand function rehabilitation therapy for daily independence. Due to increasingly overloaded healthsystem, in the future less hours of help of health professionals are available which could lead to less accesible therapy for MS patients.

Despite ongoing efforts, vegan mayonnaise still faces significant challenges, including differences in taste, texture, and dipping behaviour compared to the egg-based versions. These issues limit their appeal and potential for reaching its full customer base. The key issue is the fundamental limitation of natural plant proteins in emulsion stability. Unlike egg proteins, which provide both emulsification and gel-like structure, plant proteins lack the same interfacial properties. To compensate, food additives are used to improve texture, but this in turn affects taste and viscosity. Without proteins that have more egg-like properties, vegan mayo will continue to face texture and taste challenges that limit its market potential.
Read moreOnCue, computer keyboard for people with Parkinson's Disease
This project focuses on improving computer keyboard interaction for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, specifically addressing the symptoms of tremors and bradykinesia, which cause slowed movement and impair fine motor skills. The goal is to reduce frustration and avoidance behavior associated with keyboard use, making interaction more accessible and comfortable.

Developers and indie hackers can struggle to consistently share their progress while building in public. Posting updates manually gets time-consuming and distracting from the development work. But by not paying attention to marketing, great products and ideas remain unseen, or miss valuable feedback and opportunities for growth.

Many travelers, especially solo young women, experience anxiety when navigating unfamiliar transit systems due to language barriers and hesitation in asking for help. The fear of miscommunication or safety concerns often discourages them from approaching strangers, making their journeys stressful and isolating.
Read moreInteractive Image Descriptions
Existing image descriptions often lack context or detail and fail to meet the diverse needs of people with visual impairment. Preferences vary widely based on factors such as the type and onset of visual impairment, age, and personal interests. A one-size-fits-all approach to image descriptions is inadequate, highlighting the need for customizable, context-aware solutions. As mentioned in the article “The Accessible Books Consortium: what it means for publishers” by Catherline Jewell in WIPO magazine in 2018, globally, less than 10% of published works are available in accessible formats, leaving a significant gap inclusive for people with visual impairments. Accessibility and inclusivity has often been an ignored segment. This project investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) and interactive technologies can bridge this gap - and develops other integrate the solution that fits well with the need and real life scenario of target users.
