Data
Start-up Proposal: HEALTH-COP COMPANY
Predicting When and Where Lifestyle & Dietetic Related Health
Issues Are Most Likely to Occur.
Introduction
Health-cop company is a data mining company that predicts
health trends and possible illnesses that could be witnessed in
the near future. The company will mainly focus on data mining
and analytics to establish links between diet composition and
health issues in society, (Larose, 2015). The data to be used in
the predictive analytics will mainly be obtained from hospital
databases, nutrition and dietetics websites, health journals as
well as information shared through social media platforms.
Health-cop company intends to predict such issues before they
can become tough to manage.
Goals & Objectives
The main goal is to become a leader in health predictive
analytics in the health sector, improve the level of preparedness
for various health issues, and earn a profit from running the
business. Health-cop’s main objective is to identify certain
lifestyle and dietetic related illnesses that are most likely to be
experienced within a certain region in the near future. The
company will analyze purchases from food stores and groceries
and also analyze the various meals ordered for from various
food joints. The company also aims at providing consolidated

reports on diet composition of various people from various
regions based on data obtained from websites and social media
platforms.
Organizational Structure
The company will be headed by a chief executive officer who
will be in charge of overseeing all operations. A seven-member
board of directors will be selected among data analytics
professionals to undertake the duties of policy formulation and
implementation. Health-cop will have a data mining division,
analytics division, IT department, as well as a human resource
and customer relations departments; each headed by a
departmental manager. An independent division to deal with
business modeling and statistical database creation will receive
data from the analytics division. This division will create
various projections that will be used to make predictions about
specific illnesses.
Target Market
The company targets to sell its information to health
departments at various levels of governments. The company will
also provide its analysis to various hospitals for an agreed fee.
Health-cop will also sell its findings to private health care
institutions especially nutritionists and pharmaceutical
organizations. The existing competitors in the market offer
predictive analytics for chronic diseases unrelated to dietetics,
(Sepah, et.al., 2015). Health-cop will majorly focus on lifestyle
and dietetics related illnesses that are easily preventable thus
the company will be unique in the market. The major illnesses
that the company will analyze and report on are diabetics,
obesity, and osteoporosis.
Budgetary Estimation
The start-up will require planning and preparation finances to
facilitate sufficient research before launching the company.
Costs will also be incurred to secure strategically positioned
premises for the company. Acquisition of digital equipment
such as computers and network cables as well as the installation
of internet services will require sufficient funding, (Shah, et.al.,

2018). Other operational expenses that are expected include
salaries and wages for the company’s staff and marketing of the
company and its services in the market.
Conclusion
In recent years, lifestyle-related illnesses have become an issue
for many people in the world, (Peirson, et.al., 2015). The main
factors that contribute to the increased incidence of such
illnesses are changes in lifestyle and dietary behavior. The
reported cases of diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis have
significantly shot up in recent times. This can all be attributed
to the changes in diet behavior. A preventive analytical
algorithm would be most suitable to manage these illnesses. A
computer algorithm programmed to analyze what is being
consumed in various regions and link the food substance to a
certain lifestyle-related disease would be very important,
(Razzak, et.al., 2019). This would facilitate early detection and
application of preventive measures.

Date
Oxram limited is a multinational company that offers data
analytics services to various companies. The company helps
business enterprises to earn competitive advantage through
support of data analysis. Over the years, the company has
always relied on manual frameworks for data analysis.
Collection of data has always relied on manual data collection,
a review of available hardcopy documents as well as making
observations through a human workforce. The company aims at
improving its services through the adoption of innovative
technologies. In a review, the company aims at implementing a
cloud platform to act as data heaven that will support for data

storage as well as analysis. The company intends to use the
software as a service approach in the cloud computing
environment (Tsai, Bai, & Huang, 2014). Fetching of data will
be performed through the support of the internet of things. This
paper will, therefore, seek to identify how the company intends
to use the cloud platform in its operations.
Goals and Objectives
The company aims to be a leading provider of data
analytics services across the world. In its goal to become a
diverse company in its service providence, the company aims at
earning profits from its wide range of services it offers. The
main aim is to provide organizations with data handling
support. In this view, the company aims at providing real-time
streams of data analytics. The software as a service platform
will enable the company to have accessibility from many places
in the world (Khoshafian, 2016). In its mandate, the
organization aims to provide the safest and the most dependable
data facilities that the clients can have confidence in. The
company aims at providing scheduled as well as random reports
on the various data analysis dockets it is tasked with. The
company provides for this intending to provide a robust
structure that will enable its client organization to perform
market analysis that will enable them to attain a competitive
advantage.
Content Security Policy
Considering the fact that Oxram limited intends to use a
cloud platform in data storage and handling, there will be a
need to have a policy that will ensure the security of data. The
expected security is enabled through the website that will be
used to access data from the cloud platform. The content
security policy will help in detection as well as prevention of
certain types of attacks that target cloud platforms (Patil, &
Frederik, 2016). A content security policy will be capable of
efficiently handling forms of attacks such as cross-site
scripting, browser hijacking, form jacking as well as ad
injecting. The company plans to have a regularly updated

inventory of the first- and third-party domains, lists of
whitelisted domains and a method of alerting violations of the
content security policy. The company also aims to have a
regular update of the policy in order to ensure that it meets data
security standards.
Organizational Structure
Oxram Company is headed by a chief executive officer
who is in charge of coordinating different departments in the
organization. In his mandate, the chief executive officer is in
charge of fostering a good relationship between the company
and the target client companies. Through his influence, he
makes approval of innovative technology such as the current
impending cloud computing platform. Under the chief
executive officer, lies a business manager and a functional
manager. The business manager ensures that the company is
strategically positioned to perform business (Goetsch, & Davis,
2014). The functional manager coordinates activities that lay
down the structure of the business. He is in charge of
coordinating information technology issues. The three top
bosses are mandated to sit in board meetings that discuss the
reports of the business. There are other supervisors who are I
charge of other smaller departments in the company.
Target Market
The company target all business-oriented companies across the
globe. The intention of targeting these companies is that they
are in a position to purchase the data storage and analytics plans
the company offers. The company will provide the data analysis
services to companies that are in need to perform digitized and
more efficient market analysis (Liu, 2014). The idea is to enable
these companies to identify market niches as well as to attain
competitive advantages. The company will target these
companies through specialized plans that will enable favourable
conditions that are economically viable.
Budget Estimation
With the infrastructure that comes with the cloud
computing platform, it is will be necessary to have a special

room where architectural equipment will be placed. The cost of
building a physically secure room will be incurred. There will
also be a cost incurred in buying a domain that will be used to
access cloud resources. A server will also be procured in order
to support the large network of organizations that will be linked
to the company’s cloud platform. Installing the technology will
also require an investment in financial resources in acquiring
skilled personnel to install and maintain the cloud platform. In
addition, training of human resource personnel in the company
will incur some cost.
Conclusion
A review of current marketing trends in many
organizations indicates that data handling an analysis are key
components of every organization. Every organization strives to
ensure that they can grasp market requirements that gives them
a niche in the market. For these reasons, Oxram Company’s
cloud computing project fits the market requirements of data
handling and analysis.
