Thought Provokers

1 .
Consider our start-up company, which is looking to develop a mobile application for monitoring sleep disruptions (e.g., snoring, restless sleep) using a user’s phone microphone. Users will be prompted to complete a mindfulness questionnaire on their phones each morning and night, allowing them to correlate sleep disruptions and mood. Users can also view reports on a website. The start-up company wants to use the data from users to point them toward support services, and they are looking to partner with health companies. Based on this, how would you recommend the solution be architected? Provide a sketch of the architecture. Create a list of the technologies you’d consider using, where they would be used, and why you chose that technology.
