Risks
A – Difficult to type B – Difficult to afford
C – Hardware becomes outdated
D – Database entry causes delays
April 10, 2008April 10, 2008 CS410 Blue Team 40
Difficult to Type
20% of those with speech disabilities also have major physical disabilities.
Mitigation:
iSa will have image groupings that allow the user to press the image to have the iSa speak a set phrase, instead of requiring large amounts of typing.
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)
41CS410 Blue TeamApril 10, 2008
Difficult to Afford
60% of Americans have private health plans. Most health plans do not cover "speech-language pathology," "speech pathology," "speech therapy," "hearing care," or "audiology."
Mitigation:
The iSa will have a selling point of $100, making it more affordable then the competition.
Census.gov
42CS410 Blue TeamApril 10, 2008
Outdated Hardware
It is inevitable that the hardware will become outdated.
The software will need to be ported to the new hardware when the time comes.
Mitigation:
The coding of iSa will be designed to be ported from one device to another.
43CS410 Blue TeamApril 10, 2008
Database delays
Filling a database is time consuming. This presents a large possibility for delays.
Mitigation:
iSa will use SQLite which has a “zero-configuration” database. Lowers the time for setting up the database for entry, providing more time for data entry.

Return on Investment
The customer will gain a tool that will aid in communication and help to improve their overall
quality of life.
