Cowork H+

HIPAA-Compliant AI Assistant with RAG Over Clinical Data

Delivered the same cowork-style assistant experience—context-aware help, task support, and natural language workflows—tailored for regulated healthcare environments.
Built the stack with React and Node.js, using LangChain to orchestrate Claude AI with skills-style tool routing for RAG, retrieval, and PHI-safe actions.
Implemented retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) so answers are grounded in authorized database records, not generic model knowledge alone.
Built secure pipelines to embed, index, and query structured and unstructured DB-backed data with access controls aligned to PHI handling.
Designed for HIPAA compliance: encryption in transit and at rest, audit logging, least-privilege access, and data minimization across the LLM stack.
