2. Positioning2.1 Business OpportunityAs a large portion of our world’s population ages, many older people suffer from dementia that puts them in embarrassing, troubling situations where once familiar people and places are alien and foreign. According to the Pew Research Center, 64% of the adult American population owns a smart phone and uses it regularly. A device that is almost always on a person would provide an easy medium for this population to have a place to store familiar people and places.

3. Stakeholder and User Descriptions3.1 Market DemographicsSymptoms of dementia can be found in Alzheimer’s disease which is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. An estimated 5.3 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer’s disease in 2015 (alz.org). As time progresses, more and more people are effected with Alzheimer’s disease each year,


Team ReCallwhich means the market is only getting larger. As a result, the demand for these types of products which help with dementia will increase. This product’s goal isn’t to monetize off of it, its simply a tool for those suffering from it to make their lives easier.

3.8 Alternatives and CompetitionThe application has a couple of competitors in the market, one of which being an application called Unus Tactus. Unus Tactus is a mobile application developed to assist people of all ages with mild cognitive and/or motor deficits. It uses a touch photo dialing system to make phone calls from the user’s existing contacts within their mobile phone or from directly imported contacts which are displayed in a 4x4 grid.

4. Product Overview4.1 Product PerspectiveThis application will be a stand alone system. It is designed to work offline and, for security reasons, has no connection to the Internet.


Team ReCall4.2 Summary of Capabilities - SIG Diagram

Table 4-1 Customer Support SystemCustomer Benefit Supporting FeaturesNew support staff can quickly get up to speed.

Knowledge base assists support personnel in quickly identifying known fixes and workarounds.

Customer satisfaction is improved because nothing falls through the cracks.

Problems are uniquely itemized, classified and tracked throughout the resolution process. Automatic notification occurs for any aging issues.

Management can identify problem areas and gauge staff workload.

Trend and distribution reports allow high level review of problem status.

Distributed support teams can work together to solve problems.

Replication server allows current database information to be shared across the enterprise.

Customers can help themselves, lowering support costs and improving response time.

Knowledge base can be made available over the Internet. Includes hypertext search capabilities and graphical query engine.

4.3 Assumptions and DependenciesWe shall assume that the user suffers from Stage 3 (“Mild”) Dementia or less. If this

assumption changes, the system might need to become more or less user friendly and intuitive based on the new assumption.

The system that the application will run on shall be an Android device with software version 4.4.2 or higher and contain the necessary hardware components to satisfy the functional needs of said application such as a camera. Android operating systems change often. Because of this, if the assumed operating system changes, the app may need to partially rewritten to account for the changes. If we no longer assume the device has a camera, the user interface will need to change to either allow for another method of selecting photos, or adjust so the image is not needed.

4.4 Cost and PricingThe software system has no reoccurring costs other than maintenance and needs no physical

hardware provided by the company. Instead, this is exclusively a software system which will require some up keep costs will not require any costs beyond that. We expect all costs will be occurred in development and maintenance.


Team ReCall4.5 Licensing and Installation

Installing of the system will be very starlight forward. The user will download the app and, assuming he has the proper operating system, will be able to run the app with no issues.

Licensing will also be straight forward. The system will be offered as is at the time of install and will be only permitted to be used on the installed device with no changes to the system.

6. Constraints We shall assume that the user suffers from Stage 3 (“Mild”) Dementia or less. The system

that the application will run on shall be an Android device with software version 4.4.2 or higher and contain the necessary hardware components to satisfy the functional needs of said application such as a camera.

7. Other Product Requirements7.1 Applicable Standards

This application will be compliant with Android standards.

7.2 System RequirementsThe system requirements include a smartphone has a working camera and file storage system

that runs Android 4.4.

8. Documentation Requirements8.1 User Manual: Installation Guides, Configuration, and Read Me File

Contact/Home page:

The home screen of the app has two tabs, one for your contacts and the other for your places. Your contacts tab contains up to nine contacts. Each contact tile contains a picture of the contact, their name and how you know or are related to them.

● To view the details of a contact simply tap on their picture and you will be shown the contact’s detail page.

● To modify a contact’s details (their name, relationship, photo, or contact information) simply tap the “SETTINGS” button at the bottom of the page. You will be prompted to enter you PIN number you set during your initial setup of the app. After entering your PIN you will be able to modify any details about your contacts.

By clicking the “PLACES” tab you will be brought to a similar tiled view of your most recent or favorite places. You can add a new place or event to your list by tapping the “ADD” button at the top of the page where you will be able to capture a photo and add details to the photo.

Once you do this, your new place will be added to the list of places.


Team ReCall

Contact Detail Page:

The contact detail page displays the contact's name, their relationship to you, their phone number and their address. To call the contact simply tap on their phone number and the app will dial their number for you. To change any information about the contact tap the “EDIT” button at the top right of the page. After entering your PIN again you will be able to edit the contact information of this specific contact.

PIN Page:The pin page is what you are prompted to enter before making any changes to the app. This ensures that the user is not unintentionally modifying contact information. If you enter this page by accident simply tap the “GO BACK” button at the top left and you will return

to the previous page, otherwise enter your pin you specified during your initial setup of the app and you will be allowed to make any necessary changes.

App Development Process:To develop this app we used the Adobe Phonegap framework. This allows Web apps to be

bundled and packaged as native apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and all other major mobile platforms.


Team ReCallIn the development process we used Webstorm as my primary code editor, the Phonegap

command line interface to build the app and Genymotion as the Android emulator to get the app’s basic functionality working. Once the app was working well enough to test on a physical device we used GapDebug, a debugger for hybrid and web apps along with a Samsung Galaxy S5 to test, debug and run the app.
