Feature: Authentication Mechanism

[1brahimmohamed]

Feature description

Implement the user authentication mechanism, including the login screen, credential verification, and access to the application.

Use cases

• When a user launches the application, they are presented with a login screen.
• The user provides their credentials (username and password).
• The system verifies the provided credentials against the stored user database.
• If the credentials are valid, the user gains access to the viewer's features and patient data.
• In the case of invalid credentials, the system displays an appropriate error message and may trigger security measures.

Benefits

• User Data Protection: The authentication mechanism ensures that sensitive patient data is protected by allowing only authorized users to access it. This enhances patient privacy and complies with data protection regulations.

• Security Compliance: The feature helps the application comply with security standards and regulations within the healthcare industry, where data security is paramount.

• Role-Based Access: The authentication mechanism enables role-based access control (RBAC), ensuring that users can only access features and data relevant to their roles. This prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information.

• Privacy and Consent: The feature ensures that only authorized personnel, who have obtained patient consent, can access sensitive medical information, thus protecting patient privacy and consent rights.
