Risks
A – Difficult to type B – Difficult to afford
C – Hardware becomes outdated
D – Database entry causes delays
484805/05/08 CS410 Blue Team
Difficult to Type
20% of those with speech disabilities also have major physical disabilities.
Mitigation:
iSa will have image groupings that allow the user to press the image to have the iSa speak a set phrase, instead of requiring large amounts of typing.
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)
494905/05/08 CS410 Blue Team
Difficult to Afford
60% of Americans have private health plans. Most health plans do not cover"speech-language pathology," "speech pathology," "speech therapy," "hearing care," or "audiology."
Mitigation:
The iSa will have a selling point of $499, making it more affordable then the competition.
Census.gov
505005/05/08 CS410 Blue Team
Outdated Hardware
It is inevitable that the hardware will become outdated.
The software will need to be ported to the new hardware when the time comes.
Mitigation:
The coding of iSa will be designed to be ported from one device to another.
515105/05/08 CS410 Blue Team
Database delays
Filling a database is time consuming. This presents a large possibility for delays.
Mitigation:
iSa will use SQLite which has a “zero-configuration” database. Lowers the time for setting up the database for entry, providing more time for data entry.
