Great ideas. Some thoughts:
GP offices: Plenty of solutions already - generally regionally based or by payer. Also an issue with vets, hairdressers etc - pick an appointment based niche. (Have invested in 2 niches, advised others)
Wireless sensors for industry: Thousands of players here, including network providers and different tech stacks. The game is to find a niche that is easy to enter and pats well. (Have invested in wireless water metering, advised others)
Drone inspection: Plenty of players here, but it's a find-a-niche that you can sell to play, and you need operators for each application. (Have advised drone and drone application companies)
Anything on a drone: Drone's don't last long in the sky. (as above)
Trains: Trains get solved at the political level. Good luck in the USA. (am train lobbyist)
Motorbike safety: Check out where Dainese and BMW are going - air bags et al. I spend a fortune on BMW gear. (Motorcyclist)
GUI HUDs: The main player failed (Skully - internal issues) . I know of at least one early stage company attempting a generic HUD solution. (have met, not invested the early stage one and decided, luckily, that I didn't like the Skully people and did not pre-order.)
Motorbike storage: Has been a huge market since the 90s when you could only get adventure boxes from one supplier - in Munich. Now the problem is solved by countless suppliers and manufacturers - unless you buy a sports bike, which have a very different use-case. My first adventure trip was in 98 and I needed to self-assemble, now you can ride out of several branded dealerships with a capable round the world bike. (have motorbiked round what world - in pieces)
VR: The use-case is really only games so far. See Playstation. (have 2 VR kits)
Lighter than Air: Capacity and cost versus shipping are the issue, while air-cargo is well solved. Meanwhile the Helium market is stuffed. But I love the industry too. (read Bill Gate's recommended book on international shipping etc.)
Low income cooking: Those low income people are time-poor, poorly educated (the US system is dreadful) and marketed too by monster franken-food companies that price under the cost of decent food. Yes - its a hard problem to solve. (don't get me started)
Education: Indeed. Start with politics and how schools are funded.
Taiwan: (sadly) Why would you pay more than $1 over market?
