Alternative Solutions Choosing Solutions The Problem Model Testing
The main problem for our webpage was that many people have blood diseases and don't know it. Many people are contaminated with HIV, AIDS, and Anemia. HIV and AIDS both attack your immune system and can be fatal. HIV and AIDS are both [usually] passed by blood, and can be tested for by a sample of blood. Anemia is a blood disorder in which you have gained an abnormal amount of red blood cells. This is common and effects many people a year. Here are the top then states that have AIDS and exactly how many people are diagnosed.
10. Maryland: 26,918

Alternative solutions may be going to a doctor, or trying a new test yourself. Researchers are now coming out with a swab that you can take a sample of saliva with to see if you have HIV or AIDS. Many are afraid to put it on the market because people may commit suicide if they find that they have AIDS. Or they may try to take care of it themselves because they are too scared to tell anyone. Going to a doctor is an alternative solution, but people usually aren't aware of the fact that they have a disease in their blood. Some put it off, and others are too scared to even go to the office. These are the alternative solutions to the problem of blood diseases.

Our group decided on this solution because you can take it at the doctor's office and give him the test. Then he will call you. If you are diagnosed, then you will be sent to a clinic or hospital specialized in the disease you have. Same for the dog; any disease he may have he will be sent to a vet for. If you are not diagnosed then you will be left alone. You can take this practically unpainful test when you go for your check-up. I think that government should make it a law that you have to get tested for any blood diseases when you turn sixteen years of age. With this tool it's easier for you and your pet. This is why our group picked this model.

We made the following model by first naming all of the features we wanted it to include. The list looked something like this: Needle, screen, collar, button, microchips, thermometer, grips, and comfort insulation. We used all of these thing for different things, but they all have one main purpose, to prevent so many people and animals from getting infected. As you can see, the following model looks pretty complex, but it's actually really easy to use. It also gives you a lot of information. You simply have to prick you finger and it will give you results. It will also give you information about your body temperature and other things such as your mood.

Our model does work and will revolutionize the way we handle sicknesses today. It handles the way we test for diseases in a different approach. Our group thinks that this will improve the solution greatly. We are not just testing the blood, we are searching for other illnesses. We are also looking at the mood, temperature, name, and the owner of the dog. This will be able to detect not only what is wrong with you, but what is also wrong with your pet. This is obviously an excellent idea for an invention.
