9. Document / Observation / Competitive Analysis

This section summarizes external sources reviewed during elicitation and explains how each source influenced system requirements.


9.1 Document Analysis

  • Regulatory Review

    National data protection standards and SDAIA privacy policies were reviewed to identify legal and security requirements relevant to Sillah.

  • Key Principles

    Explicit consent, data access rights, secure in-KSA storage, and prohibition of unauthorized data sharing were all emphasized.

  • Derived Requirements

    Findings support secure authentication, RBAC, restricted visibility, encryption, and consent-management functionality.

  • Sources

    SDAIA Privacy Policy, Ministry of Health Awareness Platform, and WHO resources.


9.2 Observation Notes

  • Current User Behavior

    Families currently rely on memory, paper notes, fragmented mobile apps, and general health tools without hereditary focus.

  • Observed Gap

    There is no centralized system dedicated to structured hereditary preventive-health tracking.

  • Derived Requirements

    Observation supports family profile management, health event recording, automated risk-detection logic, and preventive alerts.


9.3 Competitive Review

  • Market Landscape

    Existing platforms focus on appointment booking, EHR access, and general health tracking.

  • Missing from Competitors

    Hereditary risk-pattern detection, family-based modeling, and personalized preventive alerts are not emphasized.

  • Strategic Insight

    This gap reinforces Sillah's value as a family-centric preventive-health platform.


9.4 Evidence Artifacts

  • SDAIA Privacy Policy documentation
  • Ministry of Health Awareness portal
  • WHO public health resources
  • Screenshots of competing platforms

These artifacts support traceability between external research and resulting system requirements.
