10. ▪ Problem
▪ iCDG manages data for more than 20+ operators and performs
gap analysis. There are requirements which are co-related and
understanding connection of requirements with operators is
crucial. Development and testing teams perform redundant
tasks which slows down overall process of development
lifecycle.
▪ Current Approach
▪ All the data is maintained by JAMA and requirements are
updated manually. It increases time to deliver a product in
market.
▪ Business Value
▪ Understanding relationship between requirements and
operators is crucial from business perspective. This will help
effective time management, plan future platforms as per
operator requirements and it can increase productivity of
business unit. Saffron is good at natural language processing
and provides in-depth analysis of relationship in textual data.

• Pipeline maintenance
work usually cost million
$$ and time, because
shutting down a pipeline
is a complex process.
• The pipeline

20. PoC: Point Of Care Testing (diagnosis)
20
• A method for bringing medical laboratories to a patient’s home to
conduct diagnostic tests
• patient does not need to go to the doctor or laboratory in person.
• PoC testing reduces the burden on expensive laboratory setups and provides
management of patient care in cost effective manner.
• PoC device and the associated infrastructure must be done with extreme
rigor, as the PoC system meets the definition of a mission critical or safety
critical system.
• Requirements creation and management are the key processes for ensuring
that a highly reliable and low defect PoC system is developed since accurate
PoC testing-based diagnosis is an essential process improvement for
remote patient care management.
• Provides physicians a vehicle to diagnose patients with drastically
increased reliability
• Battery performance management is an important functionality:
• Need to have uninterrupted power during PoC testing.

cartridge-based, automated diagnostic
test that can identify Mycobacterium
tuberculosis (MTB)DNA and resistance
to rifampicin (RIF)by nucleic acid
amplification technique(NAAT)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeneXpert_MTB/RIF
PCR=polymerase chain
reaction is a technology in
molecular biology used to
amplify a single copy or a
few copies of a piece of
DNA across several orders
of magnitude, generating
thousands to millions of
copies of a particular DNA
sequence

24. PhD Work: Building blocks of PoC System
24
Ref: http://file.scirp.org/Html/36489.html
Point-of-care (POC) testing device is a device
that allows anyone to operate anywhere and
obtain immediate results. One of the
important features of POC device is low
power consumption because it is normally
battery-operated
