Laboratory Exercise
Identifying User Stories and Use Cases
Objective:
At the end of the exercise, the students should be able to:
Apply the event decomposition technique to identify use cases; and
Draw case diagrams by actor and subsystems
Software Requirement:
MS Office
Instruction:
1. Read and understand the case study carefully.
2. Provide a clear and complete answer to every requirement in the case.

Medical Monitoring technology has advanced significantly in the last decade. Monitoring that once required
a visit to a health-care facility can now be performed by devices located in a patient’s home or carried or
worn at all times. Examples include measures of glucose level (blood sugar), pulse, blood pressure, and
electrocardiogram (ECG). Measurements can be transmitted via telephone, Internet connection, and
wireless data transmission standards, such as Bluetooth. A particularly powerful technology combination is
a wearable device that records data periodically or continuously and transmits it via Bluetooth to a cell
phone app. The cellphone app can inform the patient of problems and automatically transmit data and
alerts to a central monitoring application (See Figure 1).

Health-care providers and patients incur significant costs when glucose levels are not maintained within
acceptable tolerances. Short-term episodes of very high or very low glucose often result in an expensive
visit to urgent care clinics or hospitals. In addition, patients with frequent but less severe episodes of high
or low glucose are more susceptible to such expensive, long term complications as vision, circulatory, and
kidney problems.
Sandi Medical Devices (SMD), an Albuquerque manufacturer of portable and wearable medical monitoring
devices, has developed a glucose monitor embedded in the wristband. The device is powered by body
heat and senses glucose levels from minute quantities of perspiration. SMD is developing the Real-Time
