Current Goal

Provide Farmacy Family user's ability to interact with other users and providers such as dietitian, gym etc. via chat, forums.

Assumptions Both chat, forum components will be deployed on AWS.

We propose using third party open-source library, rather than building in-house system. Thus reducing cost.

Use following open-source Chat and Messaging development SDK:-

Rocket.chat (https://rocket.chat/)
It's an open-source self-hosted messaging platform, which can be installed anywhere.
Additionally it can be deployed on AWS (https://docs.rocket.chat/quick-start/installing-and-updating/paas-deployments/aws)

Anyone of the following open-source forum system can be plugged in to existing system:-
