=== <u>D</u>istributed computing ===
DENIS uses volunteer devices to compute large amounts of cardiac electrophysiological simulations. DENIS uses the idle time on your computer (Windows , Linux or Mac) to simulate the electrical activity of the heart.
DENIS@home uses volunteer computers to perform large numbers of cardiac electrophysiological simulations. The project uses the idle processing capacity of Windows, Linux, and macOS computers connected through the BOINC middleware platform.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ |title=BOINC |publisher=University of California, Berkeley |access-date=2026-05-19}}</ref>


DENIS works over the [[wikipedia:Berkeley_Open_Infrastructure_for_Network_Computing|'''''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC)''''']]. BOINC is an open source middleware system developed at the University of Berkeley.
The distributed nature of BOINC enables researchers to process large simulation batches that would otherwise require access to expensive supercomputing infrastructure.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Anderson |first1=David P. |title=BOINC: A System for Public-Resource Computing and Storage |journal=5th IEEE/ACM International Workshop on Grid Computing |year=2004 |doi=10.1109/GRID.2004.14}}</ref>

=== <u>E</u>lectrophysiological models ===
DENIS has been created to help researchers to compute very large groups of cardiac electrophysiological model variations. Cardiac electrophysiological models are mathematical representations of the electrical activity of the cardiac cells.
DENIS@home computes large sets of cardiac electrophysiological model variations. These models mathematically represent the electrical behavior of cardiac cells and are used to study arrhythmias, heart failure, and drug interactions.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Carro |first1=J. |last2=Rodríguez-Matas |first2=J.F. |last3=Pueyo |first3=E. |title=A Methodology to Improve Human Ventricular Models for the Investigation of Cardiac Arrhythmias |journal=Biophysical Journal |volume=111 |issue=12 |year=2016 |pages=2706–2715 |doi=10.1016/j.bpj.2016.11.2183}}</ref>


Models used in DENIS are described using the CellML language to facilitate other researchers to include their models in DENIS. CellML is an open standard based on the XML markup language. CellML is being developed by the Auckland Bioengineering Institute at the University of Auckland and affiliated research groups.
The models are described using the [[wikipedia:CellML|CellML]] language, an XML-based open standard developed by the Auckland Bioengineering Institute for storing and exchanging mathematical biological models.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.cellml.org/ |title=CellML |publisher=Auckland Bioengineering Institute |access-date=2026-05-19}}</ref>

=== <u>N</u>etworking collaboration ===
DENIS connects volunteers with researchers to help them in their projects. No matter where you are. No matter where the project is. We want to connect you.  We don't only want to connect researchers and volunteers. We also want to connect researchers and help them to collaborate. We are currently working on it. Stay tuned, we will keep you informed.
The project was designed to connect volunteers and researchers internationally through a collaborative computing infrastructure. DENIS@home also encourages scientific collaboration between institutions and research groups working in computational cardiology.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Monasterio |first1=Violeta |last2=Castro-Mur |first2=Jesús |last3=Carro |first3=Jesús |title=DENIS: Solving cardiac electrophysiological simulations with volunteer computing |journal=PLoS ONE |volume=13 |issue=10 |year=2018 |pages=e0205568 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0205568}}</ref>

=== <u>I</u>n silico research ===
We could have asked you to use your heart, but we believe it is easier for you to give as your computer for a while. In Silico simulations of the electrical activity of the heart have become an indispensable technique to increase our knowledge of the heart behavior under normal or pathological conditions.
The project focuses on ''in silico'' cardiac simulations, allowing researchers to investigate heart behavior under normal and pathological conditions using computer models rather than laboratory or clinical experimentation alone.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Monasterio |first1=Violeta |last2=Castro-Mur |first2=Jesús |last3=Carro |first3=Jesús |title=DENIS: Solving cardiac electrophysiological simulations with volunteer computing |journal=PLoS ONE |volume=13 |issue=10 |year=2018 |pages=e0205568 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0205568}}</ref>


DENIS wants to be a powerful tool for those all that make research in cardiology.
=== <u>S</u>haring knowledge ===
DENIS@home promotes open scientific research. Results produced using the project are expected to be published openly, and the software developed for the project is released under the Apache License 2.0.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 |title=Apache License 2.0 |publisher=Apache Software Foundation |access-date=2026-05-19}}</ref>


==== <u>S</u>haring knowledge ====
== Methods ==
DENIS works because the volunteers share their computational capacity with us. For this reason, all the researchers that use DENIS must share their results and all the people must be able to know what is running in its computer:  All the results obtained using DENIS must be published. All the models used in DENIS must be shared once the project has finished.
Volunteers may choose to run one or more scientific applications through the BOINC client:
 
* '''[https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/projects.php#DENIS_Myocyte_Beta Beta of DENIS-myocyte (DENIS_Myocyte_Beta)]''': Testing application used to validate modifications to the simulation software.

* '''[https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/projects.php#HuVeMOp Human ventricular cell models optimization (HuVeMOp)]''': Optimization of commonly used ventricular cell models for electrophysiological marker representation.
 
Electrophysiological models are used to investigate the electrical activity of cardiac cells and predict the effects of pharmaceutical compounds and pathological conditions on the heart.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Carro |first1=J. |last2=Rodríguez-Matas |first2=J.F. |last3=Pueyo |first3=E. |title=A Methodology to Improve Human Ventricular Models for the Investigation of Cardiac Arrhythmias |journal=Biophysical Journal |volume=111 |issue=12 |year=2016 |pages=2706–2715 |doi=10.1016/j.bpj.2016.11.2183}}</ref>

[[File:Denispref.png|700px|alt=preferences|none|thumb]]
With a simple check of a box, DENIS@home volunteers have a choice to run one or more of these applications:
* '''[https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/projects.php#DENIS_Myocyte_Beta ''Beta of DENIS-myocyte (DENIS_Myocyte_Beta)'']''': Beta version of the simulator used for all DENIS@home applications. Every modification of the simulator is tested under this application.
* '''[https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/projects.php#NHuVe ''New human ventricular cell model (NHuVe)'']''': Development of a new version of the model proposed by Carro et. al (2011).
* '''[https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/projects.php#HuVeMOp ''Human ventricular cell models optimization (HuVeMOp)'']''': Optimization of the public and most used human ventricular cell models for the representation of electrophysiological markers.


[[wikipedia:Electrophysiology|'''''Electrophysiological''''']] models are a powerful tool to study the electrical activity of cardiac cells under normal or pathological conditions and can also help predict the effects of drugs in the heart. Because these models are complex, it's necessary to simulate them many times (varying the conditions or model parameters). For this reason, researchers in this field usually require high computational power and BOINC is the perfect solution to distribute the work to volunteer computers and achieve that high computational power.

DENIS@home is a volunteer distributed computing project based on the BOINC middleware platform. The project is operated by the CoMBA (Computational Multiscale Biology and Medicine) research group at Universidad San Jorge in Zaragoza, Spain, and focuses on large-scale simulations of cardiac electrophysiology and cardiovascular disease research.[1][2]

The project's name is an acronym representing its five main principles: Distributed computing, Electrophysiological models, Networking collaboration, In silico research, and Sharing knowledge.[3]

Universidad San Jorge, home institution of the DENIS@home project

History

DENIS@home was launched in 2016 as a research initiative to use volunteer computing for the simulation of cardiac electrophysiological models.[4] The project was developed by researchers from the CoMBA group to provide computational resources for large-scale studies into cardiac arrhythmias, ventricular cell behavior, and the effects of drugs on the human heart.[5]

The project was listed among BOINC-based scientific computing initiatives by the University of California, Berkeley and has been referenced in volunteer computing communities and distributed computing forums.[6]

Why DENIS@home?

More than 17 million people die each year from cardiovascular diseases, representing approximately 31% of all global deaths.[7] DENIS@home was created to provide researchers with the computational power required to investigate the electrical activity of the heart and develop improved cardiac electrophysiological models.

The platform allows volunteers to donate unused CPU processing time from their personal computers to scientific simulations.[8]

Goal

The five pillars of DENIS@home are:

  • Distributed computing
  • Electrophysiological models
  • Networking collaboration
  • In silico research
  • Sharing knowledge

Distributed computing

DENIS@home uses volunteer computers to perform large numbers of cardiac electrophysiological simulations. The project uses the idle processing capacity of Windows, Linux, and macOS computers connected through the BOINC middleware platform.[9]

The distributed nature of BOINC enables researchers to process large simulation batches that would otherwise require access to expensive supercomputing infrastructure.[10]

Electrophysiological models

DENIS@home computes large sets of cardiac electrophysiological model variations. These models mathematically represent the electrical behavior of cardiac cells and are used to study arrhythmias, heart failure, and drug interactions.[11]

The models are described using the CellML language, an XML-based open standard developed by the Auckland Bioengineering Institute for storing and exchanging mathematical biological models.[12]

Cardiac electrical activity measured using an electrocardiogram

Networking collaboration

The project was designed to connect volunteers and researchers internationally through a collaborative computing infrastructure. DENIS@home also encourages scientific collaboration between institutions and research groups working in computational cardiology.[13]

In silico research

The project focuses on in silico cardiac simulations, allowing researchers to investigate heart behavior under normal and pathological conditions using computer models rather than laboratory or clinical experimentation alone.[14]

Sharing knowledge

DENIS@home promotes open scientific research. Results produced using the project are expected to be published openly, and the software developed for the project is released under the Apache License 2.0.[15]

Methods

Volunteers may choose to run one or more scientific applications through the BOINC client:

Electrophysiological models are used to investigate the electrical activity of cardiac cells and predict the effects of pharmaceutical compounds and pathological conditions on the heart.[16]

All DENIS@home software is distributed under the Apache License 2.0 and source code has been published through the project's Bitbucket repositories.[17]
