Students use mobile to fight malaria, help vision-impaired

“Mobile healthcare is on a roll, and you can partially thank the next generation.
Health- and healthcare-related projects took the top four spots in the U.S. finals of the Imagine Cup, an annual student technology competition sponsored by Microsoft.
Four students from Arizona State University won the contest over the weekend in Seattle with a creation that combines a custom-designed digital camera, a touch-screen Windows tablet PC and Microsoft OneNote software to help vision-impaired students take notes in class. The competitors, Michael Astrauskas, David Hayden, Shashank Srinivas and Qian Yan, share an $8,000 prize and win a trip to New York City in July for the ninth annual worldwide Imagine Cup finals. Microsoft also will make a $25,000 donation to ASU in their names.”
