Item A FRAMEWORK FOR DESIGNING AN INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR DOWN SYNDROME PATIENTS(2022-02-15) AL-TAMEEMI, Haitham; Erkan, Turan Erman; Turhan, ÇiğdemThe possibility of setting up a framework for designing a new system for individuals with Down syndrome was studied. The idea behind this framework is to develop a remote monitoring system called Down Syndrome Information System (DSIS) that will contribute to improve the health status of individuals with Down syndrome, by allocating more resources to information technology. This framework is intended to guide developers to implement the proposed system in the future. The main objective of this thesis is to answer the question of can the proposed framework will be able to support the developers to design a DSIS. In order to answer this question, it is required to find answers to these other questions. 1) Can the proposed system satisfy end user's needs?; 2) Can the proposed system invest in IT in the healthcare field?; 3) Is the proposed system implementable by the developer? 4) What are the advantages between the newly proposed and the current system? The related works were surveyed and it was found that there is a lack in IT investment in health care services for people with Down syndrome. This lack became one of the main motivations for this thesis. In addition, the first three steps of system development life cycle approach (SDLC) will play a big role in setting the methodology of this framework. Questions 1 and 2 were addressed by the investigations illustrated. As for questions 3 and 4, they were answered by visualizing the proposed system to ensure implementing it. Limitations of this thesis include; 1) The proposed system is only applied for Down syndrome cases. 2) Using correlations functions as a statistical method to analyze the results of questionnaire form. 3) Using the first three steps of SDLC approach to set this framework. 4) Lastly, there are limitations related to the collections of feedbacks from some of Arabic countries including Iraq, and the dependent on journals and conferences for previous studies. This thesis will expected to contribute to set this framework as an educational guide for developers to build monitoring system for Down syndrome, build a hybrid system by involving the responsible people of Down syndrome in this system, and enhance the health status of individuals with Down syndrome.
