[Feature]: Digital donor consent & declaration workflow #58
Description
Problem Statement
I'm always frustrated when consent and declaration processes are not clearly
visible or recorded digitally for donors.
Currently, donors do not have a transparent way to review, accept, and store
pre-donation consent or health declarations within the platform. This creates
ambiguity around consent, especially in a healthcare-critical workflow.
Proposed Solution
I would like to see a dedicated digital consent and declaration workflow for
donors before confirming a blood donation.
This feature should include:
- Pre-donation consent forms outlining risks and responsibilities
- Digital acknowledgment or signature from the donor
- Timestamped records stored securely and linked to each donation
- Visibility of accepted consents in donor and hospital dashboards
Alternative Solutions
An alternative could be:
- Manual consent handled offline by hospitals
- Static consent text without record tracking
However, a digital and timestamped workflow ensures better compliance,
transparency, and trust for all stakeholders.

Use Case / User Story
As a donor,
I want to review and digitally accept consent and health declarations before
donating blood,
so that my consent is clearly recorded and trusted by hospitals.
Mockups or Examples
Examples from other healthcare platforms:
- Digital consent forms used in hospital management systems
- E-signature workflows in telemedicine applications
- WHO-aligned donor declaration formats
Expected Impact
This would help ensure:
- Legal and regulatory compliance
- Increased hospital trust in donor data
- Clear accountability and auditability
- Improved donor confidence and transparency
Additional Context
Digital consent workflows are a standard requirement in healthcare systems.
Introducing this feature would align HaemoLogix with medical compliance
standards while improving donor experience and data reliability.
