Consent Collector Mode

This mode is used when an OpenSpecimen user (like Clinic Coordinator) is collecting the consents. In this mode, the user can register the participant and collect consents.

Patient Mode

This is used when the Clinic Coordinator wants to hand over a tablet (for example, iPad) or the desktop to the participant. When switcing over to the patient mode, the system logs out the user and ensures that the patient only sees the consent form on the screen and cannot view any other data of OpenSpecimen.

...

Consent Collector mode: This allows the person who is collecting consents to stay logged in and enter the responses himself.
