A new way to cry "Help" put three
Technion-Israel Institute of Technology
students at the top of 30 teams from
nine institutes competing in the Israeli
Microsoft Imagine Cup Challenge. Yoav
Cantor, Keren Gorenstein and Amit Gil
devised "Help," touch-triggered mobile
phone software that sends Bluetooth and
text messages to emergency responders.
The winning team will represent Israel in
the worldwide finals of the Imagine Cup in
Warsaw from July 3-8.
Second place went to "Meth;' also cre-
ated by a team of Technion students. This
project enhances emergency response
by transmitting medical alerts from a
patient's monitoring device to doctors and
medical authorities.
The Haifa-based Technion's dominance
of the Microsoft Imagine Cup should be
no surprise — Microsoft's Imagine Cup
calls for students to "imagine a world
where technology helps solve the toughest
problems:' something Technion students
are asked to do every day.
