Overview: Elder Care Services (ECS) is a new firm with the objective of providing elderly people medical care in the privacy of their homes. Doctor visits are conducted virtually using a computer or smartphone. Peripheral devices are provided to the patient for the purpose of measuring heart rate and blood pressure. This information, along with the actual video consultation, is provided to the doctor located in EC facilities via secure communication means. Patients that are prescribed drugs will receive them via terrestrial robot vehicles or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) on the same day. Since these drugs are controlled, vehicle location data must be continuously monitored by the ECS operations center. In the event that the vehicle is damaged, or its contents robbed, the vehicle will capture a video of the incident, and immediately send it to the operations center. ECS wishes to serve urban, suburban and rural areas.
Need: ECS is asking your team to pull together a national communications capability that enables 24/7 connectivity to elderly patients within their homes. The goal is to begin national operations in one year.
