Cypriot Students Win Imagine Cup Again

imagine-cup-2013For the third straight year,  engineering students from the University of Cyprus have won the The Multinational Software Corporation Microsoft, a premier student technology competition. Over the past 10 years, more than 1.65 million students from more than 190 countries have participated.
The event invited all eligible students to use their imagination and passion to create a technology solution in problems concerning hunger, poverty, education, disease control, health, environment and other current crucial matters. The groups were separated according to three different categories: Innovation, World Citizenship and Games.
This year’s Cypriot team was named Nudge and won for an innovative application that aims at replacing the traditional MedicAlert ID bracelets with smart bracelets/watches which use the technology NFC and can provide necessary information about the patient’s medical care (allergies, various diseases, blood group) with a simple touch of the cell phone on the patient’s bracelet.
Microsoft will send the winners to St. Petersburg, Russia in July to compete in the 11th World Competition representing Cyprus.
