3. Stakeholder and User Descriptions

3.1 Market Demographics


The key market demographic is elderly people, presumably over the age of 60, that have some sort of disability in the at least one of the areas: vision, speech, hearing, or memory loss. These individuals are looking for some sort of assistance to compensate for these disabilities to help in their every day lives. Along with the elderly needing assistance those assisting them will also be a part of the market demographic. There are many individuals over the age of 60 that would benefit from and have access to the H.O.P.E. system. These individuals can spend thousands of dollars on aides and services in order to assist them such as hearing aides or other expensive technology systems. At this point in time because of the baby boomers more and more people are reaching the age to where they will start to need these type of services. The technology industry is becoming more and more mobile and accessible to everyone. Our organization is new to the market but are working to become familiar with the market and industry. We would like to be well received within the market and that people will be pleased with the product we are providing. Being that our goal is to assist those with disabilities and make their day to day lives easier, our product helps meet that goal by providing a way to communicate with others either for social reasons or for assistance, and help remember important dates, appointments, and to take appropriate medications at the correct times.
