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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DENIS wants to be a powerful tool for those all that make research in cardiology.

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.
