A European athletic association similar to the NCAA has been under increased scrutiny over the effectiveness and accuracy of their Drug Policies. An independent commission has been established with the sole purpose of improving the monitoring and reporting of student athletes' use of illegal and banned substances. Specific funding has been secured for this purpose. Your team is being asked to create a system that will interact with Health Monitoring Kiosks (HMK) installed at sports facilities at each of the participating educational institutions. Among the primary goals is the ability to deploy, configure and monitor these kiosks; have them operate in a private network and provide diagnostics, alerts and reporting to the system. Among other things, this system will facilitate the monitoring of compliance by institutions and their athletes; alert the appropriate authorities within the association of any suspicious health conditions; maintain records of kiosk interactions and results; and provide analysis and reporting at a local and national level. Your clients will be able to manage and configure the kiosks in advance of deployment as well as remotely once they are in place. They will be able to enable and disable HMKs onboard computers and their sensors (blood analyzer; blood pressure; temperature; height; weight, etc.) via remote connection. Operators should also be able to retrieve previously stored data from the system and examine and map the information pertaining to any of the HMKs sensor data. The systems should also allow for expanding the number of locations and HMKs and diagnose their status remotely in case of tampering or malfunction. The users will start with your general solution and be able to configure the product to meet the specific needs.
As part of the system, it is important that the HMKs software be able to run autonomously and continue to process and store data even if a network disruption occurs. Once the network connection is recovered this data would then be transmitted to the system to prevent any data losses.
The requirements for this system are given in the list below as desired features for the overall system. The list is neither exhaustive nor definitive. It is up to your team to develop a list of features that best fit the defined scope of your application.
