Project Outline
Organization Description
The organization is a large-scale software development firm that develops web and mobile
applications for its clients. The major clients of the organization are the small and medium scale
business enterprises in the business domains as healthcare, finance, and commercial. The
organization was established in the year 2009 and is engaged in the software development
projects since its inception. The headquarters of the organization are in Sydney, Australia.
The organization has always believed that innovation is the key to business and commercial
success. Technology is enhancing itself and the organization makes sure that it reflects latest
technology in all the software development and other business operations that it performs. There
are latest development and management techniques that are adopted by the company to provide
its customers with the expected set of services and products.
Project Description
The project that is being carried out by the company is the development of an IoT-based
healthcare application for one of its medium-scale healthcare organization. The project will be
developed using Internet of Things (IoT) as the primary technology. IoT is one of the emerging
technologies that refer to the inter-connection of a varied set of components to achieve a
common goal (Lingam, 2017). The components that will be involved and integrated in the
application will be healthcare equipment, such as heart rate monitor, glucometer, etc., computer
systems, database, database server, web server, Smartphones, network peripherals, sensors, data
analytics tools, and Big Data tools (Harsh, 2017).
The software development project will include the development of the IoT-based healthcare
application along with a front-end for the application which will act as the interface for the users.
The web interface will be accessible from the mobile as well as desktop platforms. The primary
users for the application will be the patients, medical professionals, nursing staff, and healthcare
organization’s management. The other users may include the administrative staff, healthcare
authorities, and the family members of the patient. The project will be developed as per the
business requirements & specifications handed over by the client. Some of the high-priority
requirements include the management of the healthcare data sets by including the security and

Project Design 4
privacy of the information along with the automated analytics of the patient data to speed up and
enhance the accuracy of medical diagnosis (Dziak, Jachimczyk & Kulesza, 2017).
Company Size & Information
The company has its headquarters in Sydney, Australia and it is set-up in three further locations
in Australia as Melbourne, Brisbane, and Canberra. There are currently 325 employees engaged
with the organization. About 40% of these resources are associated with the Sydney office and
the rest 60% are spread across the other three offices.
There are over 180 dedicated software development professionals deployed with the organization
and these resources have varied development skills. For instance, there is a wide range of
programming languages and the software developers associated with the organization have
expertise on the languages as PHP, Python, C#, C++, Java, Ruby, etc. The other employees
deployed in the organization include managers, data scientists, web designers, UI Experts,
business analysts, human resource management staff, and support staff.
The company has completed over 1,676 projects since its inception and has succeeded in
developing a distinguished name in the market. This is because the organization always makes
sure that it provides its clients with the latest software packages that are in accordance with
trends and patterns in the market.
The management unit that is associated with the organization also adopts varied managerial and
leadership styles to successfully carry out the project. The project management methodologies
that are applied by the organization include Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK),
agile methodology for Project Management, Projects In Controlled Environment (PRINCE2),
and Lean Project Management (Serrador & Pinto, 2015).
The company has always achieved a rating of 4+ on a scale of 5 from its customers.
Impact of the Problem on the Organization
The client of the project of IoT-based healthcare application development project is a medium-
scale healthcare firm. The healthcare firm is facing a lot many issues with its data management
and handling processes.

Project Design 5
The number of patients is increasing on a per day basis and there is a lot of information that is
associated with every patient. Some of these information sets include demographic details of the
patient, medical details of the patients, medical history, medical professional details, payment
details, etc. Also, there is a record of every medical professional that is required to be stored and
managed in the database. This leads to the presence of a huge cluster of information that includes
a wide range of data. These data sets have varied data structures and the volume of these sets
also varies.
It is, therefore, becoming difficult for the organization to manage all of these data sets. Also, the
patient engagement and satisfaction levels are deteriorating as a result. There is a lot of time that
is spent in data searching and retrieving. There have also been occurrences wherein the medical
reports of the patients have been duplicated or deleted from the records. The traditional tools and
methods for data management are no longer sufficient to manage the data requirements of the
organization.
Another problem that the organization faces is data security and privacy. There are several data
security and privacy risks that are now associated with the organizational data. The occurrence of
these risks, such as data loss, data leakage, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, etc. have
legal and organizational issues for the company (Deursen, Buchanan & Duff, 2013). Also, the
repeated occurrence of the security and privacy issues has resulted in the reduction of the market
shares and customer base. The overall revenues and sales of the organization have also come
down.
It has become essential for the organization to automate the business processes and manage its
data adequately.
Intended Research Process
It is intended to conduct the research using a mix of qualitative and quantitative research
methods. The exploration of the issues will be done under the qualitative methods and the
analysis will be made as per the data sets gathered. The data techniques that are intended to be
used and applied under this method would be interviews, observations, surveys, domain analysis,
and group discussions. There will be interview sessions planned with the target audience of the
mobile application and the response will then be analyzed to understand the nature of issues and
the associated impacts. Similarly, group discussions will be done. The observation of the existing

Project Design 6
system will be done to understand the process flow and to get an idea of the issues and problems
associated with the same. The surveys and questionnaires will be prepared as per the user type
and the response will be collected to determine the functional and non-functional requirements
(Jervise & Drake, 2014).
The quantitative research methods will make use of the mathematical and statistical approaches
to determine the issues and the associated impacts. Co-relational and experimental research
processes are intended to be applied under the quantitative set of methods. The sample size in all
of these processes will be kept small to moderate.
The data sets that will be gathered as per both the research methods and categories will then be
analyzed using the automated data analytics tools. The associated patterns and trends will be
identified to get the details of issues that will be involved. The impact assessment will then be
carried out for all the issues that will be listed. This will provide a detailed identification of the
issues, type of the issue, nature of the impact, degree of the impact, and associated details.
Feasibility Analysis
The system designer and developers associated to the project needs to access the feasibility of
the general requirements those are formulated by the project stakeholder and approved by the
project managers. In addition to this, they should also consider the existing possible solutions.
The large scale software development company deals with design and development of website
and mobile applications for different organizations such as healthcare, finance commercial etc.
This specific project deals with design and development of an IOT based healthcare application
for a SME healthcare center. The feasibility of the project is measured in the below section:
