Overview: Elder Care Services (ECS) is a new firm with the objective of providing elderly people medical
care in the privacy of their homes. Doctor visits are conducted virtually using a computer or
smartphone. Peripheral devices are provided to the patient for the purpose of measuring heart rate and
blood pressure. This information, along with the actual video consultation, is provided to the doctor
located in EC facilities via secure communication means. Patients that are prescribed drugs will receive
them via terrestrial robot vehicles or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) on the same day. Since these
drugs are controlled, vehicle location data must be continuously monitored by the ECS operations
center. In the event that the vehicle is damaged, or its contents robbed, the vehicle will capture a video
of the incident, and immediately send it to the operations center. ECS wishes to serve urban, suburban
and rural areas.
Need: ECS is asking your team to pull together a national communications capability that enables 24/7
connectivity to elderly patients within their homes. The goal is to begin national operations in one year.

III. Assumptions made
IV. Description of the proposed solution/recommendation (with created supporting diagrams),
V. Identification of requirements based upon limitations that cannot be reasonably satisfied by the
proposed system
