Topflight Solutions Project Proposal

Hello Professor,

Below is the Project Proposal for Topflight Solutions:

Idea: Website/app for doctor’s notes

The problem to be addressed is companies requiring sick notes for when employees call out sick. Sick employees result in both wasted time for the company and increased healthcare costs.

The solution is to create a website/app which assists in identifying sick trends within the company and how to address those trends. When a sick employee goes to the doctor, the doctor can send the sick note directly to the employer via the app. On the employer’s end will be a HR section for the app in which they can keep track of sick employees. This can help HR identify which departments are at risk for certain illnesses (i.e. Truckers are more susceptible to the flu). HR can then take measures to ensure that truckers get flu shots. It can also be used to identify sick trends among specific employees. For example, if a specific employee is susceptible to sinus infections in the winter, then the employer/app will send our reminders to the employee that he/she tends to have that illness during the winter, how to prevent getting sick, and how to prevent others from catching his/her illness.

The app can also be used to track certain sick trends in areas, rather than just specific companies. This can be used to help those areas (townships, cities, etc.) get a better understanding of the trends and how to combat the illnesses in the area.

Possible issues with this idea would be compliance with HIPPA laws, ensuring the validity of the sick notes sent to employers, and cyber security.
