Hello team, I find your suggestion really smart. Great thinking! I think that your concept description is simple, easy to follow and makes the general idea seem easy to put into practice. Here are some extra thoughts for your final submission: - Could you make a connection of your suggestion with any of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals? - What are the criteria of assessing the environmental impact of the food? (Material waste, labour, imports/exports, water consumption, etc? ) - What amount of carbon emission would be the green, orange and red labels? Would the labelling change if the same product was sold locally or internationally? It would count positive if you gave a couple of examples of how your idea is inclusive of different kind of markets. - It's a good thing you mention how you thought using an app or educational resource and explaining why you concluded to the labelling instead. It shows your thought process and your responsible thinking about your final outcome idea. Could you explain a little more in what aspect the labelling is more convenient ? From reading your whole proposal I assume you consider this convenient for the consumers, but have you thought about the complications such a system would have for the food production companies? - As I imagine the financial implications to the food manufacturers might create a conflict with your idea of labelling, would you consider setting up an independent non-governmental organisation to do the environmental assessment? Or seek support by any of the existing global food organisations to put the labelling obligation into practice? Can you think of any examples of food organisations that would be potentially interested in your idea? - Have you considered your costs of implementing your proposal? How would you fund it? - It would be good if you could elaborate at your conclusion on how this concept could make a real difference on the world. What are the expected outcomes of this labelling if it becomes real in long term? I hope you find my feedback is helpful. Great work and good luck 🙂

Hello team, Good work. I think this is a great concept suggestion, and your description touches base on all four key principles (responsible, purposeful, inclusive, regenerative). Here are some comments and ideas to think about discussing/adding to your final proposal: - In order to provide the real-world problems, how would access this information? Have you considered for example building a knowledge sharing platform where you could collaborate and collect information from hospitals? - Could you elaborate on the interactive process between the candidates and the health industry and how it would be applied in practise from inception to the end? (example: Have you considered agreeing with the stakeholders to offer a work placement to the winner to put in practise their idea?) - Have you consider the costs of actually producing the winner idea of this competition? What would the motives and benefits be for the Mediplus, Medtronic and Medart Technology to bring this competition's winner idea to life? In what ways, such a device would make this a win-win situation, for both the patients and the health industry? - The idea of the volunteer health workers is great and it shows that your idea of the medical device competition is not an one-time thing. It sounds like the volunteer healthcare ecosystem will be a continuation of the competition's research outcomes. However, have you checked if there is already a volunteer healthcare team similar to what you're suggesting? It will be best if you could propose to approach an existing one and help to improve their actions with the knowledge and equipment that will be the outcome of the competition (your main idea). It could make your proposal stronger at its regenerative principle.
