1.1 Introduction

❤ Sillah (صلة) — Preventive Family Health Management System

Sillah (صلة) is a preventive family health management system designed to help Saudi families identify hereditary cardiac risks through an intuitive digital platform. The system enables users to record family health histories, detect inherited risk patterns, receive automated alerts, and simulate preventive clinic appointments.

Originally developed in SE201, the project focused on defining the problem, identifying stakeholders, and establishing high-level requirements to support preventive health awareness. That phase represented the Inception stage of the Requirements Engineering process.

In SE311 – Software Requirements Engineering, the project expands into a complete requirements lifecycle:

Inception → Elicitation → Analysis → Specification → Validation → Requirements Management

This phase emphasizes formal documentation (IEEE 830), advanced elicitation techniques, UML modeling, prioritization, and traceability across multiple releases.

1.2 Project Overview

  • 🎯 Goals

    Strengthen preventive awareness and enable early detection of hereditary conditions through structured, scalable system design.

    Improve family health tracking, risk detection accuracy, and healthcare integration using validated requirements and refined rule-based logic.

  • Objective

    Formally document and refine the requirements of a preventive health system that allows citizens to record family data, analyze hereditary patterns, and take proactive steps toward cardiac screening using structured SE311 engineering practices.

  • ✨ Core Features

    • Structured management of family members and health events
    • Automated hereditary risk detection logic
    • Personalized alerts and recommendations
    • Awareness and educational content hub
    • Appointment booking workflow simulation
    • Role-based access control

  • 👥 User Groups

    • General Citizens — Record data and receive alerts
    • Healthcare Providers — Review summaries and requests
    • Administrators — Manage rules and system content
    • Public Health Stakeholders (Future) — Analyze aggregated trends

🤔 System Perspective

Sillah is not just a mobile application or web platform. It is a requirements-driven preventive health system built around structured data collection, rule-based evaluation, and stakeholder-centered workflows. The project demonstrates how disciplined requirements engineering improves clarity, traceability, and long-term maintainability.
