Question

5. AAA Medical Devices is a manufacturer of portable and wearable medical monitoring devices. They have developed a glucose monitor embedded in a wristband. The device is powered by body heat and senses glucose levels from minute quantities of perspiration. AAA wants to develop a Real-Time Glucose Monitoring (RTGM) system which will be using this device. AAA is planning to see the software to other health systems worldwide.

The software should be accessible on smartphones with Bluetooth capability.

The project has commenced, and you are appointed as a Systems Analyst to understand the requirements of the new system.

Think about the potential users of the system and discuss three fact-finding techniques that you would use to collect the requirements of the new system.

Answer 1

Solution for the problem is provided below, please comment if any doubts:

Three fact finding techniques that can be used to collect the requirements of the new system that perform the real time glucose monitoring and connectivity features:

• The potential users of the system are aged peoples who are suffering from diabetic problems, athletes, other health and fitness seekers.
• There are many fact finding methods are there to collect the requirements, which includes sampling, research, interviews, prototyping, etc.

Here we can use the below discussed fact finding techniques:

1. prototyping

• It is a fact finding method by implementing a prototype of the system and test on the potential users.
• The comments, feedback and suggestions from the users by using the prototype is recorded and it can be used to make the actual requirements of the system.
• This method is most suitable fact finding method to find the requirements.

2. Joint requirements planning

• There is a sitting or session can be organized between the potential users, company representatives and other stake holders.
• The points arise in the joint meeting can be used to find the actual requirements.

3. Research and Observation

• A research and observation can be performed by conducting various stages of research to collect the requirements.
• The research process can include collecting the details of the potential users and their daily routines, how they use the system, etc.
• The research is a lengthy process but it will return the optimum requirements.
