SYSTEM ASSESSMENT 4
1.0 Project background
Mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and more are on the rise in the
contemporary world. As a result, a lot of suicide deaths related to mental disorders have been
reported. Headspace Inc works with young people between the age of 12 and 25 who have
mental health challenges. There have been a lot of suicide deaths reported for youth between
ages 16 and 24.
Some challenges that have been experienced by Headspace in trying to help young people
with mental issues include the fact that a person sees more than one professional in the
organization. The problem with this process is that patients find themselves narrating their
circumstance over and over to every professional they meet. As a result, they end up
clamming up and professional have only little to do to help them.
On admission, patients may see a case worker, a medical staff, a psychiatrist or a general
practitioner. Mental health issues are very sensitive and the existing system is very limited in
terms of providing help to the youth. It is therefore important to install a cloud based system
‘my health record system’ in order to help the youth who visit Headspace tell their story.
Professionals will then be able to access the right information for specific patients and help
them accordingly without having them retelling the story more than once.
1.1 Objective
The objective of the study is to create a cloud based system for Headspace to allow patients
tell their story in order to access necessary help from professional.
