VoiceAssist Client Applications - Master Implementation Plan

Version: 2.0 (Reconciled with Continuous Improvement Plan) Date: 2025-11-21 Status: Superseded - See CLIENT_DEV_ROADMAP.md Project: VoiceAssist Enterprise Medical AI Assistant

⚠️ Important Notice

This document has been reconciled with the Continuous Improvement Plan.

For the comprehensive, unified roadmap that includes:

Deferred backend features (voice pipeline, medical AI, integrations)
Client applications (this document's scope)
Platform enhancements (design system, i18n, PWA, telemetry)
External integrations (medical databases, EMR/FHIR)
52-week timeline across 6 milestones

→ See CLIENT_DEV_ROADMAP.md

This document remains as the detailed specification for client applications only (Weeks 1-20, Milestones 1-2).

🎯 Executive Summary

This document outlines the implementation plan for VoiceAssist's three client applications:

Web App (web-app/) - Primary user-facing medical AI assistant
Admin Panel (admin-panel/) - System management and configuration
Documentation Site (docs-site/) - User and developer documentation

Current Status:

✅ Backend: 100% Complete (15/15 phases, HIPAA-compliant, production-ready)
✅ Specifications: Complete for all three clients
⏳ Implementation: Ready to begin (currently 0-5% complete)

Scope: This plan covers Milestones 1-2 (Weeks 1-20) of the unified roadmap.

Goal: Build three world-class, production-ready client applications that set the standard for medical AI interfaces.

📊 Project Timeline

Positioning in Overall Roadmap

This plan represents Milestones 1-2 of the CLIENT_DEV_ROADMAP.md:

Milestone 1: Frontend Foundation (Weeks 1-10)
Milestone 2: Admin Panel & Voice Pipeline (Weeks 11-20)

The complete roadmap includes 4 additional milestones (Weeks 21-52) covering deferred backend features, platform enhancements, and external integrations.

🔐 Security & Compliance

Authentication Strategy

JWT-Based Authentication

// Token structure
interface AuthTokens {
  accessToken: string; // Short-lived (15 minutes)
  refreshToken: string; // Long-lived (7 days)
  tokenType: "Bearer";
  expiresIn: number;
}

// Token refresh flow
// 1. Store tokens in httpOnly cookies (preferred) or localStorage
// 2. Axios interceptor refreshes before expiry
// 3. Automatic logout on refresh failure

OAuth Integration

Google OAuth 2.0
Microsoft Azure AD
Future: SAML for enterprise

HIPAA Compliance Features

Data Encryption
- TLS 1.3 for all communications
- End-to-end encryption for sensitive data
- Encrypted local storage
Audit Logging
- All PHI access logged
- User actions tracked
- Tamper-proof audit trail
Access Control
- Role-based access (RBAC)
- Principle of least privilege
- Session timeout (15 minutes idle)
Data Minimization
- Only collect necessary data
- PHI de-identification options
- Data retention policies
User Controls
- Export personal data
- Delete account
- Consent management
