1. Description of the service-summary

This is a mobile health app that allows users to see a doctor for a medical video consultation. The doctor can write a prescription for the patient, and address all the question a user may be having (Sifferlin, 2013, December). The app can enable users see a psychologist as well as enable users have a consultation of lactation.

2. Intended clients or customers

Any person with a mobile phone device and who has needs that he/she wants them addressed by a doctor can use this app. The app is available on Android, iOS, and Web. It targets those people who have busy schedules and would love convenience in terms of the time they can meet the doctor for advice, consultation and even drug prescription. The app saves time for users offer stress-free services for the patients as well as the doctors. Again, doctors are also the targeted users. The company gives the training to willing physicians on how to operate the service. Currently the company has a portfolio of about 1000 doctors who offer video consultations in one or two days a week.

3. Business objective statement

DoctorOnDemand seeks to achieve the following objectives:

· To offer and convenient medical services to the patients

· To connect a wide range doctors to the patients for easier provision of medical services

· To reduce the fears in patients by offering quicker diagnosis and prescribing immediate drugs to take to contain any emergent situation

· To promote general health of the public by encouraging them to consult medical services anytime and anywhere they are using this app

· To enhanced customized medical services to the patients by having enough time to consult a doctor anytime and anywhere

4. Application architecture description

The architectural features of DoctorOnDemand app include In-App Navigation, SMS verification, instant and convenient booking, mobile dispatching, advanced backend system, and alarm button. The app has a rich interface that is very responsive to give users best experience. Further, it has easy cloud installation because it is made with quick and instant set up. The app is functionality to fit in devices that are android, iOS, Window phones, tablets, and computer/laptop. It enables users to place appointment with doctors and have their issues address via a video consultation.

5. Information provided to the clients

The physicians offer advice on prescription on simple medication, diagnose patients, provide information on where the patients can get quality medicines for the disease he/she may be having, among other information. Another major type of information provided by these doctors is assessing the progress of the treatment of a patient by further diagnosing the symptoms and signs. The physicians in this app ca diagnose and treat non-emergency medical conditions like flu symptoms, allergies, back pain, urinary tract infections, cold, heart burn, respiratory infections, and pediatric issues. More importantly, the doctors generally help to reduce fear in patients by diagnosing them with convenience and offering advice and prescription. The doctors can also give further advice on how a patient can seek additional medical attention.

6. Basic requirements

The app can be downloaded at Google Play, iOS, or Web. It requires one have a smart phone, a tablet or a computer/laptop. The app is currently allowing the users to have a live video chat with the United States certified doctors on these devices. It costs a user about $40 for a 15-minute chat with a certified physician who can diagnose any issue a user may be having, give prescription for simple medication, advice on the further steps to take, and generally help some reduce his/her fears.

Conclusion

DoctorOnDemand app is an easy and convenient way of accessing medical services through a mobile phone. It connects patients with doctors for a video consultation session. The doctors help in diagnosing the patients, give prescription, reduce their fear, and give further actions to be taken.

Summary of physical media and network design for the proposed service (max 200 words)

Twisted pair cable will be used to enhance networking in the organization. The preference for this is based on malleability which make it easier to handle it. This cable is coated by plastic and is made of twisted copper wires which are in pairs (Shelly, & Campbell, 2012).

This cable will be used for LAN and more specifically for telephone transmission in the company. For WAN, fiber optic cable will be used. The choice of this cable for wan is based on its ability to transmit voice, data and carry videos for an extensive distance. The cable is also protected through a coating that make it more reliable and it stands a high capacity to transmit sound, video and in formation over a long distance at a high speed as compared to other available choices (Fiber Optic Cable Types and Installation, 2015).

A. Physical media selection: summary

The selection of twisted pair cable for LAN is based on its popularity amid modern cables for network because of its ability to be handled and settled easily as compared to coaxial cable which is the next best alternative. This cable can be used to enhance network connections and therefor viable for use within the organization This cable is also fit for selection because of the coating that increase its durability. Fiber optic cable is chosen because of its ability and reliability in transmitting information at a faster rate for a long geographical area.

A.1 Physical media consideration: Types of network and transmission distances and cost

To reduce the cost of installation of the LAN network, twisted pair cable will be adopted since it is cost friendly and reduces the cost of maintenance since the wire is well coated. On the other hand, fiber optic cable reduces the cost of WAN installation since the wire is coated reducing the cost of replacement. This cable is also less expensive for WAN and more expensive for local area networks. This low cost will enable the company to run its services more effectively.

B. Medium access

This encoded protocol will be used to regulate the flow of data in and out of a physical link in set network. Media access control will be used to provide a mechanism that gives access to nodes in a network to communicate. This sublayer of originating from the data link control layer provides a communication link between computers in a network (Ansari & Zhang, 2012). An error control mechanism will be needed on the data link layer to avoid corruption of data during transmission. The medium is not prone to errors as it is installed with mechanisms that detect single bit and burst errors. The links that require good error control is in between two immediate terminals and use of configurable interruption limit.

C. Network design

The components of network architecture include, physical layer (hardware) that defines the physical provisions and electrical specification and relationship with other devices. It has a data link layer that transfer data from point to point. It contains a network layer that transfer information from the source to the receiver device and. Transport layer enhance transfer of data among users. A session, application and a presentation layer are also maintained (Serpanos & wolf, 2022).

Conclusion

In conclusion, to maintain the cost of network installation and maintenance, the twisted wire cable and the fiber optic cable will be used. Network error control measures will be of great help to enhance data reliability which will hence lead to efficiency in provision of the services by the doctors since there will be good flow of information.
