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.

From v7.0, a “Consent Collector” role is also present by default which has the above privileges required to collect consent.

Clinical Coordinator Mode

This mode is used when an OpenSpecimen user is collecting the consent.
