David Samuel, Dody Dharma, Dominikus Damas Putranto, and Samuel Simon are the "Big Bang" team members from Institute Teknologi Bandung (ITB) who represented Indonesia at the Imagine Cup 2009 held in Cairo, Egypt. This worldwide annual competition is sponsored by Microsoft Corp. in search of creative technological solutions to address the world's toughest challenges. The "Big Bang" team won Mobile Device Award for their software application MOSES (Malaria Observation System and Endemic Surveillance). 

MOSES combines client runtime technology with PDA application to iniatiate diagnostic analysis for patients in remote areas who may suffer from malaria. MOSES is equipped with voice recognition technology and PDAscope - a modified microscope made from available PDA camera - to assist health-care workers in getting blood samples and in providing malaria related services. 3G technology is the backbone infrastructure for MOSES and its application will become more efficient as Indonesia's Telecommunications providers increase their service coverage areas.
