MM3 Media Project 6

Group 4 Alan, Christine ,Lauren & Stephanie

Brief

"There are a number of everyday scenarios where clients are asked to provide personal details about themselves - everything from height and shoe size to PPS numbers, doctors' names etc - which can present them with difficulties at the level of basic recall in context or in the provision of the information in the format required. Can a digital media solution offer some support and assistance in this regard?"

Project Proposal

Our aim is to create an android application for mobile phones that is freely available via download from the Doras website.The information will contain important details such as pps numbers,bank numbers,doctors names etc. This information will be entered into the application by the user and a trustee figure.The user then will be able to customise a character which will serve as a guide in the application that the user can interact with.

When any information is needed the user will then be able to access this information which will be divided into categories represented by 3 icons e.g. bank and any sensitive information will be represented by a money icon, any health details will be represented by a red cross icon and any school/work related details will be represented by a book and pen icon. With the aid of the guide they will be able to access this information.

Lastly as a security measure relating to the bank and any other sensitive details users will be asked a series of simple easy to remember security questions.They will then finally be asked a enter a security code and if any problems are encountered in recalling this code the user will be prompted to ring their trustee figure who would also know this code.
