The aim of theproject was to improve the state of health care and assistance by providing the patients withthe opportunity to avail remote services and applications. The experience provided me an opportunity to understand the user perspective in thehealthcare domain as it was my first project in this area.

The primary setof risks that occurred included technical faults and failures, operational errors and issues,communication problems, and risks of schedule overrun. The risk response strategy that wasfollowed to treat the technical risks was risk transfer to the suppliers. The other risks werehandled by using avoidance as the risk response strategy.
