1. Enhance Communication & Connectivity – Implement a seamless and secure chat and video call system using a cost-effective, maintainable third-party plugin or open-source library within a Node.js-based API.
2. Optimize Medical Documentation – Integrate AI-powered transcription to convert doctors’ handwritten or printed notes into digital text for efficient data archival in a PostgreSQL database.
3. Streamline Project Management – Transition from an Excel-based tracklist to an automated Gantt chart using a third-party tool to improve project progress tracking and visualization.

Deliverables: 

1. Chat, Video call, and web app through 3rd party plugins such as Twilio or other alternatives or open-source libraries upon selecting a cost-effective, easy-to-maintain integration on a node. js-based API.
2. Use an AI plugin, or library to transcribe a text (doctors’ notes) from a picture to digital text for data archival in a Postgresql database through a node. js-based API. 

MVP Software

1.  Transport our Excel tracklist to a Gantt chart to track our project's progress, automate and enhance the visualization of the completion timeline through a 3rd party plugin or library.

Tasks Description (1 & 2):

API Structure (Node.js & Express)

• Define endpoints for user authentication, chat, video calls, and AI transcription.
• Implement JWT-based authentication and role-based access control.
• Ensure secure API communication using HTTPS and proper CORS settings.

Database Schema (PostgreSQL)

• Design different roles for users seniors can schedule video calls), caregivers and doctors (who can accept and generate video call sessions), and family members (Who can schedule video calls).
• Structure chat messages and video call records efficiently.
• Implement AI transcription storage for caregiver notes (photo to text).

Front-End Integration (Flask)

• Set up RESTful API communication between Flask and the Node.js backend.
• Implement a responsive UI using Flask templates or integrate with Vue.js.
• Ensure real-time updates for chat and video calls using WebSockets.

API Documentation & Security

• Generate API documentation with Swagger or Postman.
• Implement OAuth2 or JWT authentication for secure access.
• Ensure encrypted data storage and secure communication.

 Task 3 Description:  

Transformation & Automation: Convert the Excel-based project tracking system into a dynamic Gantt chart, which provides a visual representation of tasks and deadlines.

Enhanced Visualization: Implement a timeline-based display to show project progress, blockers, and estimated completion dates.

Integration with MVP Software: Ensure compatibility with the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) software to streamline project tracking.

Automation Features: Implement automated updates based on task status changes, reducing manual data entry.
