PROJECT DECISION

THE PROJECT I AM LEANING MOST TOWARDS

I have chosen to create a complex management system to help tackle the issue of communication, scheduling and organisation at my local mosque where hundreds volunteer every week and thousands every year. The current control mechanism is simple text messaging which is unreliable since messages do not get delivered to every single volunteer or potential volunteer. People commit many hours every day and their work is not recorded in any form; this system will allow them to
register and gain recognition for their work.

Majority of the time the same volunteers could not be contacted again after completion of their tasks to help out for future events since contact details are lost; the application will help ensure that members are staying committed. This application would serve as a management system with scheduling/planning techniques; the system would also contain a social platform capable of notifying users for their upcoming tasks/timings for duties. It would also update members regarding upcoming events.
Users will need to sign up in order to use the application; after verification they would able to use the full features of the application.
The application will feature a hierarchy and cater the separate departments; this will cap certain users’ abilities and give others more control over the application and other users. The application will contain many other detailed features – since these are specific, the application can only cater this particular mosque organisation.

TECHNIQUES THIS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WILL USE:


  • Computer security: this is very important since the application will contain personal user info
  • Algorithms: Use series of algorithms explored from last year to create efficient/fast system
  • Data/web: cloud computing and databases will be used to store the data
  • Neural networks: graphs will be used to connect/link different departments/sort hierarchy
  • Data mining: recognising/tracking certain individuals to complete tasks for particular
  • departments and offering them future volunteering priority

INSPIRATION

The following contains scheduling system already available on the market:
  • Scheduling software on market: https://www.capterra.com/scheduling-software/
This will enable me to create a specification for my own project (this will allow me introduce popular/common ideas into my work as a foundation to start with).


Appointment scheduling applications on market:
  • https://www.softwareadvice.com/uk/appointment-scheduling/

Appointment scheduling applications contain similar technique which I will need to understand to help me design an efficient solution. I will be able to find issues in current applications and prevent these from existing in my own product.

Tech

  Front-end for web application: -           HTML5 and CSS3: these web mark-up languages will create the foundation for the web application, helping to structure and create layout. The application will use existing frameworks can shape the responsive application whilst giving control at the same time. -           JavaScript: this language will allow me to add dynamic behaviour to my web application by storing information, handling requests and responses. We can use JavaScript to create any calculations and arithmetic operations if needed. Back-end languages for web application: -           PHP: this will allow us to merge the front end UI with backend database which will support a Linux based server (cPanel) -           SQL: we will use SQL queries combined with PHP to perform CRUD operations (e.g...

Costs

 Several time patient visit healthcare centres with a clinically undefinable condition that cost a lot of money as well as time of healthcare organisation. Most of NHS attempt to keep such patients away from hospital by organising home visits and provide other supports like talk therapy and communitybased services. A report from NHS shows that it costs three times more to treat a 75-year-old and five times more to treat an 80-year-old compared to a 30-year-old. A massive rise in the age factor of elderly people by 2050 when there will be double population of elderly people compared to 2019, is another matter of concern for healthcare organisation. Support talks and community-based services are not enough to stop them visiting hospitals and it will not make any difference to cost and time consumed for treatments. (England, 2019) The figure 1.11 above shows that NHS is struggling to manage costs of elderly people, aged 65 and above. It costs 3 to 5 times more to treat people ages bet...
