Prevention network
The objective is not only to eradicate crisis and war situations but most importantly to prevent them.
No pulse implies emergency
Like with human body where a steady pulse indicates normal functioning & no pulse implies emergency, creating a system that facilitates sending a steady pulse signal (hourly/daily) in normal situation, and stoppage in pulse signal indicates emerg

Earth Art as Humanitarian Bar Codes
My idea is to use a simple code that people around the world in remote regions could easily draw on their land to communicate to satellite systems using nothing more than farming tools.
Atrocity Crimes Reporting Kit
An on-the-ground tool for civilians/communities experiencing atrocity crimes to report anonymously while provide location-specific information and the type of crimes being committed.
Cub90 riders
Using simple mopeds, like Honda Cub90s, bikers can be used to drop off toolkits to hard to access communities to gather information
My Heart's Just Been Hit by a Bomb and it's Exploding: Children's Drawing Alerts (CDA's)
Children's drawings from around the world are archived and analyzed over time as honest, transparent, and potent precursors to large scale violence.
Communication-triggered distributed alert system (CODIAS)
Chain of communication + individual responsibility + autonomously functioning technology

Peace Intelligence Cycle
Introduce Peace Intelligence (PI) as a parallel to Business Intelligence (BI), leveraging the best BI software, algorithms, and teams to integrate current data and present in real time in visualized dashboards building a self-sustaining PI cycle.
Lightweight remote mini heli-planes
Small scale, remote control heli-planes that are difficult to be noticed can transport little packages, like medicine, first aid materials or digital video camera's in and out of a war zone.

Pre-Programmed Personalized Smart Message Wristband
A text message based wristband that can send any number of predefined messages to a connector, network or hub.
Satellite smoke signals
Program satellites that have thermographic cameras to recognize & alert when they detect bond fires that are arranged at a set distance and pattern. The cameras can detect temperature changes in day or night conditions.

Use wavelengths of Light to Communicate Unique Messages
Use the different frequencies of prisms and light sources to communicate different messages to a hub. Build a system for optical signal regeneration, reshaping and wavelength conversion, to convert the analog light frequency to a digital signal
