Week 4 EOC: There's an App for that.

The first App idea I have is a finger print scanner to access the phone. You put your thumb over the front of your smart phone and it recognizes the thumbprint and allows you to access your phone. Other methods, such as the draw pad or voice recognition to unlock your phone, can be figured out one way or another but the thumbprint scanner would be indisputable.  The second idea I had for an App is plant identifier. You take a picture of a plant that you can't find and it will go through a plant database and match up the picture with a plant that is most similar. It will also tell you the history of the plant, where it thrives most, and what it can be used for. It will also describe how to grow the plant and the best method to approach it. It will show what the seeds look like, what chemicals, specifically, will help it grow, and the temperature it needs to be grown at. The third idea I had for an App is for diabetics. It’s an App that can determine your blood sugar level simply by having a USB plug in with disposable saliva sheets. You lick the saliva sheet and slip it into your USB and it will then determine your blood sugar level within minutes. It will also calculate over a period of time your overall blood sugar level, weekly, annually, etc. If this was to happen you’d be able to understand your weekly, monthly, yearly blood sugar level and decide whether or not your diet is accurately keeping your blood sugar level normal. The App will also ask for your normal diet and will give hints and ideas of what you should or shouldn’t put in your diet to regulate your blood sugar level.
