I think there's a lot of interesting things that are going to be happening at the intersection of health and wearables in the next few years. $100k likely isn't enough to start a full-fledged company, but it's enough to create a good enough prototype to get some outside investment

Some ideas for said company that I'll probably never implement because I don't have said $100k:

- Running shoes that give feedback on your running form using pressure sensors and accelerometers. Depending on the type/placement of sensors, could also double as a weight tracking device that doesn't require you to weigh yourself

- Smartwatches aimed at diabetics, which can continuously monitor insulin/glucose levels, while also serving other smartwatch functions. Alerts for low/high levels.

- System that would let paramedics/doctors access recent pulse/skin temperature/etc data from a smartwatch and display it in a usable manner. Could help figure out what happened in the minutes leading up to an emergency call.
