Question: Title of Project:
Answer: ISIS

Question: Project Overview:
Answer: ISIS is a modern and enchanced Cardiotocography (CTG) examination. This examination is necessary for women after 28 week of pregnancy. Heart beat of fetus and cramps of uterus are captured, and then they can be analysed by a doctor. In a classic CTG patient had to go to hospital with specialist equipment, and stay there for 40 minutes. In endanged pregnancy, woman should be at hospital every day! ISIS want to change this. We want to improove quality of this examination and make it more accesible. Now patient can make this examination in her own house and automaticly send results to doctor. There are many advantages of this kind of system, like expert system to aid doctors decisions, digital data storing (instead of sheet of paper), automatic reports, early warning system, and many others!.

Despite that he didn't advanced to world wide finals, he decided to try his chances next year. In 2008 Demoscene Spirit acquired great speaker, musician and coder - Lukasz Michniewicz. We also involved specialist of animal protection - Agata Czapracka and Wiktoria Szydlo. With they great knowledge and perfect sense of humour, they brought a great moments during and after finals at Paris. Thanks to graphics designer - Agata Majewska, our project looked very attractive. Rich in experience and new member Marta Łuczak (medicial sciences specialist), Demoscene Spirit has defend his title this year, so we will meet in Cario;)

Question: Team Experience: What experience did your team have with Software Design before competing in the Imagine Cup?
Answer: And what about our experience? Hmmm, I think we are just computer nerds, like everybody here;) We love to spend nights after nights a front of our monitors! But seriously, programming and design is our passion, so I can't imagine what would we do without them. It's a great feeling, that you can create something connected with you, on your own way... programming is an art for us!! The same with graphics design.

Question: Highlights: What has been the best part of the Imagine Cup competition to date?
Answer: It's hard to tell what was the best part of Imagine Cup. It can be told, that the best moment was time between register three years later till now. In other words, Imagine Cup require a huge effort, so everything in your life becomes connected with it. We treat this competition as a journey which never ends. When one edition is over, in the same time we have new edition and we think about our new project, and it last constantly. So shortly - best thing in Imagine Cup is, that you can threat it as a life style!

Question: Inspiration: How did your team come up with your submission? Include which Millennium Development Goal inspired your solution.
Answer: Our submission came up with some story, that we heard from our mentor - Tomasz Gdala. His friend was in pregnant and always was very worried about her child. She never knew if everything is all right. One day she didn't feel movement of her child... she was scared so much, that her heart pulse rise dirasticly and... her child died of because of that. If she had had access to ISIS - home CTG, she wouldn't have to worried about condition of her child. We want to prevent this and many others situations. This problem is so vast - that`s why United Nations has included "Child Health" and "Maternal Health" to their Millenium Goals!

Question: Challenges: What personal or technological challenges did your team face while developing your submission?
Answer: What was the biggest challenges? Not enoght coffe!:D There was also other minor problems, like necessity to share time for Imagine Cup, work, classes at university... Agata Majewska and Marta Łuczak needed to defend their university degrees simultanesly! But they managged to do that;) We also had technical challenges. WCF and Linq was new to us. Our graphics designer had to learn WPF from scratch. The good thing in Imagine Cup is, that we can learn very usefull technologies. For example, last year we made everything by ourself, what was very time-consuming and didn't bring nothing innovative.

Question: Future Plans: What does your team plan on doing after the Worldwide Finals in Cairo, Egypt? Do you plan to use your project to launch a new business?
Answer: After Finals in Cairo we want to spread our project over Poland, because we really believe, that ISIS will help people! We already successfull started negotioations with investors. They are really interested in this project. But regardless of future of ISIS, I think, that after finals in Cairo we will start a brand new project for Imagine Cup 2010. As I said before, we are addicted to IC! We can't imagine, that we will intend night for sleeping, instead of programming!:)
