2. Device Background Device is to help Parkinson’s patients. Device is to help Parkinson’s patients. Parkinson’s is a disease that effects the brain. Parkinson’s is a disease that effects the brain. Current treatment involves Levodopa. Current treatment involves Levodopa. Levodopa subdues the symptoms. Levodopa subdues the symptoms. Levodopa also destroys the part of the brain that Parkinson’s effects. Levodopa also destroys the part of the brain that Parkinson’s effects.

3. Project Goals Goal Goal Create a device that accurately measures the Levodopa levels in a patient Create a device that accurately measures the Levodopa levels in a patient Advantage Advantage To have a standard and accurate way of measuring Levodopa levels. To have a standard and accurate way of measuring Levodopa levels. Metric Metric Give a patient a certain amount of Levodopa and use the device to see if it can accurately measure that amount of Levodopa Give a patient a certain amount of Levodopa and use the device to see if it can accurately measure that amount of Levodopa

4. Goals Goal Goal Use the device to prescribe the least amount of Levodopa to relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Use the device to prescribe the least amount of Levodopa to relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Advantage Advantage The lowest and most effective dosage of Levodopa can be given to the patient, decreasing the deteriation of the substantia nigra The lowest and most effective dosage of Levodopa can be given to the patient, decreasing the deteriation of the substantia nigra Metric Metric Take a control group of untreated Parkinson's patients, patients under the current treatment, and patients using the new device. then measure the deterioration of the substantia nigra. Take a control group of untreated Parkinson's patients, patients under the current treatment, and patients using the new device. then measure the deterioration of the substantia nigra.

5. Goals Goal Goal The device should be portable. The device should be portable. Advantage Advantage With a portable device, the user will easily be able to take the device home with them instead of having to travel to use it. With a portable device, the user will easily be able to take the device home with them instead of having to travel to use it. Metric Metric This goal will be a success if the device requires no third-party assistance in transporting. This goal will be a success if the device requires no third-party assistance in transporting.

6. Goals Goal Goal The device shall return results of Levodopa levels no longer than five minutes. The device shall return results of Levodopa levels no longer than five minutes. Advantage Advantage A quick response time makes the device convenient for the user to use. A quick response time makes the device convenient for the user to use. Metric Metric Measure the time it takes to input a bodily sample and output the results. If it is less than five minutes, it is a success. Measure the time it takes to input a bodily sample and output the results. If it is less than five minutes, it is a success.

Description: This use case describes the "normal" flow of events for the use of the device. Actors: Actors: Marty McFly: Parkinson’s patient on Levodopa treatment for a year. Dr. Benjamin Stone: Mr. McFly’s doctor Pre-Conditions: Marty is already diagnosed as Parkinson’s patient and has been on Levodopa treatment previously. Pre-Conditions: Marty is already diagnosed as Parkinson’s patient and has been on Levodopa treatment previously.

9. Use Case Basic Flow Basic Flow 1. The device is administered to Marty. 1. The device is administered to Marty. 2. A bodily sample is taken from Marty and processed by the device. 2. A bodily sample is taken from Marty and processed by the device. 3. The device returns raw data to a storage system. 3. The device returns raw data to a storage system. 4. The stored raw data are sent to the analysis system. 4. The stored raw data are sent to the analysis system. 5. There the data is analyzed and Levodopa levels are output for the doctor. 5. There the data is analyzed and Levodopa levels are output for the doctor. 6. Based on the Levodopa levels and patients relief of symptoms, Dr. Stone decides to recommend a lower dosage of Levodopa to maintain treatment at the lowest possible dosage. 6. Based on the Levodopa levels and patients relief of symptoms, Dr. Stone decides to recommend a lower dosage of Levodopa to maintain treatment at the lowest possible dosage.

10. Use Case Alternate Flows Alternate Flows Based off of the Levodopa levels, Dr. Stone prescribes a greater amount of Levodopa to Marty. Based off of the Levodopa levels, Dr. Stone prescribes a greater amount of Levodopa to Marty. Dr. Stone decides the current prescription is adequate and does not change the prescription. Dr. Stone decides the current prescription is adequate and does not change the prescription. Dr. Stone decides that Levodopa levels are too high and continuation of treatment would be dangerous. Treatment is stopped. Dr. Stone decides that Levodopa levels are too high and continuation of treatment would be dangerous. Treatment is stopped. Post-Condition Post-Condition Decision is made on an updated or sustained prescription Decision is made on an updated or sustained prescription
