Question: Title of Project:
Answer: aPadYt

Question: Project Overview:
Answer: Our proposal intends to address one challenge, “Improving education for Women and Children”, focusing specifically on children. Some estimates place the proportion of children suffering some form of learning disability at 10% or 20%. That means tens of thousands of children. It is a known fact that in most cases they go undiagnosed, and thus untreated. The reason for this is the lack of specialists in schools, since every treatment requires professional diagnosis, and then a tailored that may last months. In order to help these children, we created APADYT. This proyect is a set of applications that can support the work of the educational psychologist. It allows organising several therapies simultaneously, and even a therapy from home. This makes report writing easier and establishes a direct line of communication between the doctor and the parents. Thus, the doctor can help and advice without arranging a physical meeting every time.

Question: Inspiration: What inspired your team to enter the Microsoft Imagine Cup and why did you choose the Software Design competition?
Answer: For us, the Imagine Cup Competition represents how new technologies are used in a new point of view. Now, there is no need to look for the own profit, but to improve the society that we live in, giving us the opportunity to bring new ideas and try to solve real problems. Also, we are IT students, and we thought that Software Desgin competition is the closest to our profile.

Question: Team History: How did your team meet?
Answer: We are friends since the beginning of our university life. We have worked together in some other proyects, but, this one was special, because of its magnitude.

Question: Team Experience: What experience did your team have with Software Design before competing in the Imagine Cup?
Answer: We have worked in some proyects during our studies, but non as big as this one. This have been a great opportunity to learn a lot.

Question: Highlights: What has been the best part of the Imagine Cup competition to date?
Answer: The national final. This was an awesome experience. It was also gratifying working together, and we could make real our ideas.

Question: Inspiration: How did your team come up with your submission? Include which Millennium Development Goal inspired your solution.
Answer: When we saw that the Imagine cup theme was the Millennium Development Goal, we thought that, from our point of view, in spite of all of them are very important, "achieve universal primary education" a step further because it can be the foundation to create solutions which achieve the rest of goals. Centred in education, we wanted to find a part of the population that, in spite of having difficulties to receive a satisfactory education, could have access to the new technologies. Inside that big group, we thought about children who needed special education (dyslexics, kids with attention deficit disorder...), whose can be found in every corner of the world. In these cases, it's wellknown that in primary education centers, the qualified personal to treat these problems it's a limited and insufficient resource, and we consider that technologies can help to alleviate this situation. Finally, we wanted to make a realistic proyect, which it could be used in any school and didn't depend from anything infrastructure.

Question: Challenges: What personal or technological challenges did your team face while developing your submission?
Answer: Perhaps the documentation process. It was essential knowing the matter. For that we needed to speak to specialist in the educational psychology to look for advice. We had to read about educational difficulties and keep in touch with these specialist for check our results and helping us to improve our aplication.

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: Yes, we would like to build a small company and let our aplication be known around the world. We think that it could help many people to improve their life quality. Our proyect it's realistic and it can be used in every school.
