Principle 1: PUBLIC

Software engineers shall act consistently with the public interest. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate: 

1.01. Accept full responsibility for their own work.

The designers of the device and the software developers are responsible for all the successes or failures of the product. Since this device is safety-critical which means a single failure or malfunctioned point of the device may lead people to death. So us , as the developers have the full responsibility of the behaviors of the software product after deployment. Software engineers may sign a contract with the clients to convince them that after delivering the products clients have to  take the responsiblity.What if they found a system error after the delivery of the product? What if that error caused to death of an innocent life? Of course software engineers can put the blame or guilty upon the clients. They can fool the clients. Clients might actually get fooled by the software engineers. That's where the need of this principle become much more critical. What ever the two parties say finally the patient has to pay for it. Us , as the contributing innovators of this device have to take the full responsilbility before we deploy or deliver the final product after conducting all the tests properly. Our device is just a prototype since we cannot deliver it yet ,but the concept has to be improved since it benefits a lot to save lives threatened by snake bites.

Next point is that to enter data of venom samples we have to risk lives of the those venomous snakes. Which means whatever harmful things happen to the sankes due to this venom sample collection, software engineers have the responsiblity to mitigate all such risks or harmful things happen to both human and snakes. People might think that human lives are valuable than lives of snake. But ethically every life is a life which cannot be measured or compared with others.

Hence in both perspectives we have to ensure that we are responsible for all the circumstances which come the software product.

1.02. Moderate the interests of the software engineer, the employer, the client and the users with the public good.

Intended users of the product and persons who benefit from the product

• Envenomation specialists
• Phsycians
• Poisoned Patients
• Doctors

1.03. Approve software only if they have a well-founded belief that it is safe, meets specifications, passes appropriate tests, and does not diminish quality of life, diminish privacy or harm the environment. The ultimate effect of the work should be to the public good. 

As we have mentioned before this innovation is still to be developed and well tested since this is going to be a critical software which has a possibility to threat a human life. But once this is fully tested and passed all the approvals it is able to use at hospitals. We have come up with a prototype not the final product. Hence we don’t recommend to use this prototype even for testing on a human. Because we would like to issue this device when it is ready to use. The reason not to approve this device yet is to the public good. Besides, once this device ends up with all the approvals it is again to the public good.

1.04. Disclose to appropriate persons or authorities any actual or potential danger to the user, the public, or the environment, that they reasonably believe to be associated with software or related documents. 

As we have mentioned in the solution above the data of the venom samples such radiations, frequencies of each venom are stored persistently on a secured database. Hence no unauthorized or forged authorized unknown persons should be able to change database. And the personnel who are responsible for the database security and device security should be protected from the harmful persons. Therefore whatever danger comes from any person should be disclosed to the responsible parties.

1.07. Consider issues of physical disabilities, allocation of resources, economic disadvantage and other factors that can diminish access to the benefits of software. 

As we have planned to distribute the software device only for hospitals and other registered and approved health care centers, we believe that all patients can benefit from the software. We don't expect to market the device, but if any party is willing to fund for the project the development team can keep improving the device performance or they can distribute the device all over the world. Because it's a known fact that we can't afford the cost of all device productions. We can ensure that any human being can benefit from the device whatever abilities or disabilities that person has.

1.08. Be encouraged to volunteer professional skills to good causes and contribute to public education concerning the discipline.

In the deployment stage of the device we have to educate and train the people who are going to operate the device. As the developers we are volunteered to deliver the knowledge free.
