New feature: after generating any clinical note, the app automatically
suggests relevant billing codes displayed as clickable chips below the output.
Backend (src/routes/billing.js):
- POST /api/suggest-codes endpoint analyzes note text
- Extracts diagnoses from Assessment section via regex
- Looks up ICD-10 codes: local common pediatric map (40+ conditions)
first, then NLM Clinical Tables API for unknown terms
- Suggests CPT E/M codes based on note type, visit complexity,
ROS/PE system counts, and MDM level estimation
- Supports: outpatient (new/established), well visit (age-based),
ED, inpatient (admit/subsequent/discharge)
Frontend (public/js/app.js):
- suggestBillingCodes() renders collapsible card with ICD-10 and CPT chips
- Click any chip to copy the code to clipboard
- Shows E/M level assessment (diagnosis count, ROS, PE, MDM complexity)
- Disclaimer: "Suggestions only. Always verify codes."
Integration: called after note generation in all 6 tabs
(encounter, SOAP, sick visit, well visit, hospital course, chart review)
Calculators tab with 7 tools:
- BP Percentile (AAP 2017) with age/sex/height classification
- BMI Percentile (CDC 2000) with extended obesity classification
(Class 1/2/3 using % of 95th percentile per CDC 2022)
- Growth Charts: weight-for-age, length-for-age, head circumference,
weight-for-length (WHO/CDC LMS), Fenton preterm (22-50 weeks)
- Bilirubin: AAP 2022 phototherapy threshold + Bhutani nomogram
with Nelson Table 137.1 risk factors for severe hyperbilirubinemia
- Vital Signs by Age (Harriet Lane) with quick reference formulas
(estimated weight, min SBP, ETT size, maintenance fluids 4-2-1)
- Body Surface Area (Mosteller formula)
- Weight-Based Dosing with max cap and volume calculation
Fix growth chart sub-tab navigation (pills scoped separately from
top-level nav to prevent panel disappearing)
- Fix: DELETE all other sessions query used empty string fallback when
req.sessionId was undefined, causing id != '' to match ALL rows
(including current session). Now skips deletion if sessionId unknown.
- Fix: Revoke All endpoint returns error if current session not identified
- Fix: var confirm shadowing window.confirm in password change handler
- Replace browser prompt() with inline UI for: 2FA disable (password field),
admin password reset (inline input), admin test email (inline input)
- Remove all password breach warning UI (login, register, settings)
Backend HIBP check endpoint remains but is no longer called from frontend
- Remove model cost display from dropdown and header badge
- Hide empty cost-badge element in header
- Fix model dropdown to flat list (no category grouping)
- Add FAQ tab with accordion sections: Getting Started, AI & Models,
Voice & Transcription, Saving & Export, Privacy & Security,
Well Visit & Sick Visit, Learning Hub, Troubleshooting
- Documents how AI learns from physician edits (correction tracker)
- Fix FAQ accordion (CSP was blocking inline script, moved to app.js)
- Patch all 5 npm vulnerabilities: nodemailer 8.0.5, xmldom, basic-ftp,
path-to-regexp (npm audit now reports 0 vulnerabilities)
- Remove model category grouping from dropdown (flat list, no optgroups)
- Fix model dropdown dark background on options (white bg, dark text)
- Update FAQ model guidance to reflect admin-managed model selection
Security:
- Add session management: users can view/revoke active sessions in Settings
- Add password change in Settings (requires current password, HIBP check)
- Force logout all sessions on password reset
- Fix logout to destroy server-side session (was only clearing cookie)
- Add trust proxy for correct client IP in rate limiting and audit logs
- Add CORS support for multiple domains (CORS_ORIGINS env var)
- Add HIBP breach check endpoint and inline warnings on password fields
Audit logging:
- Add audit logging to all 24 PHI-handling endpoints across 13 route files
- Covers: generation, transcription, TTS, refine, encounters, documents, Nextcloud
- All fire-and-forget (no response delay)
AI improvements:
- Refine now includes original source material (transcript, notes, labs)
so AI can reference the full input when modifying output
- Add correction tracking (trackAIOutput) to sick visit and well visit tabs
- Fix sickvisit missing from encounter save noteIdMap
UI fixes:
- Non-blocking busy bar for transcription and AI generation (replaces full-screen overlay)
- Fix encounter recording: hide record button during recording (was showing two stop buttons)
- Fix ROS/PE "All WNL" stacking duplicate event handlers; add Clear buttons
- Enlarge AI instructions textarea in Learning Hub CMS
Domain:
- Primary domain now app.pedshub.com, with scribe.pedshub.com and peds.danvics.com as CORS origins
- Add Cloudflare Turnstile to login, register, and password reset forms
- Switch AI provider to LiteLLM, transcription to OpenAI Whisper
- Change domain to scribe.pedshub.com

- Fix LiteLLM TTS model name handling (no incorrect openai/ prefix)
- Expand AI instructions textarea in Learning Hub CMS
- Update README for v6 with all features and providers
- Add comprehensive docs/: architecture, API reference, database schema,
authentication, AI providers, speech, learning hub, configuration, deployment
- Fix model search for all providers: Bedrock now falls back to built-in
list (with live ListFoundationModels attempt), Azure returns built-in list
- Add Test button on every model row (built-in, discovered, custom) that
sends a live prompt and shows response + latency in a toast
- Add TTS management section: search voices from provider API (Google TTS
voices.list, LiteLLM /v1/models, ElevenLabs /v1/voices), Set as Default
writes tts.voice/tts.model to DB, runtime respects DB override
- Add STT management section: search models from provider (Gemini, Whisper,
LiteLLM, OpenAI, local), Set as Default writes stt.model to DB, runtime
respects DB override in transcribe.js
- Add Embedding models section: search from provider (LiteLLM, Vertex,
OpenAI), Set as Default writes embeddings.model+dimensions to DB,
embeddings.js respects DB override
- Add record-and-transcribe STT test (browser MediaRecorder)
- Add TTS synthesize-and-play test (returns base64 audio)
- Add embedding generate test (shows dims + vector sample)
- Expand PUT /config/:key(*) whitelist to include tts., stt., embeddings.
- Add @aws-sdk/client-bedrock as optional dependency for live Bedrock discovery
REMOVED:
- Milestone editing UI from Admin Panel (per user request)
- Milestones will be managed via hardcoded static data only
- Kept backend routes and database support for future use
ADDED:
- Refresh button in Learning Hub CMS content list
- Manual refresh for AI-generated content updates
- Better discoverability of content refresh functionality
FIXES:
- AI learning content now has visible refresh button
- Users can manually refresh content list after AI generation
- Cleaner admin panel without milestone management clutter
NOTE:
- Developmental milestones still work via static fallback
- Edit milestones by modifying public/js/milestonesData.js
- Backend API still supports milestone management if needed later
NEW FEATURES:
- Bulk Import button in Admin Panel → Developmental Milestones section
- "Import Default Milestones Data" button appears when database is empty
- "Re-import All" button to clear and re-import all static data
- Visible notice when no milestones exist with one-click import
IMPROVEMENTS:
- Auto-shows empty state notice when database has no milestones
- Backend bulk-import endpoint now supports clearExisting parameter
- Imports ALL age groups from static data (birth to 11 years)
- Better UX - admin doesn't need CLI to populate milestone data
FIXES:
- Makes milestone admin editing feature discoverable and usable
- No need to manually run import script anymore
FIXES:
- Milestones now show correctly on encounter page (use static fallback if DB empty)
- Static data preserved as MILESTONES_DATA_STATIC for compatibility
- Database-driven milestones still work (admin can edit via CMS)
NEW FEATURES:
- OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication support (PocketID, Keycloak, Azure AD, etc.)
- Comprehensive setup guide: OPENID_SETUP.md
- Auto-linking existing users by email on SSO login
- Multiple PDF upload support in Learning Hub (up to 10 files)
- 100 MB per file limit (was 20 MB)
- Full PDF content used for AI generation
- Embeddings use first ~8K chars for semantic search
IMPROVEMENTS:
- Updated UI to show multiple file selection with list
- Drag-and-drop supports multiple files
- Better file upload validation and error handling
- Added clarifying comments about embedding truncation
FINAL WORKING SOLUTION:
Previous attempts failed because:
- transformers.js v2.17.2 is ES module-only
- Module workers require complex CSP and external imports
- importScripts() doesn't work with ES modules
Solution:
- Use transformers.js v2.6.2 (has worker-compatible UMD build)
- Bundle library + models, serve entirely from our server
- Classic worker with importScripts() - no CSP issues
What's self-hosted:
- ✅ transformers.min.js (760KB) - at /models/transformers.min.js
- ✅ Whisper models (42MB) - at /models/Xenova/whisper-tiny.en/
Worker loads:
1. importScripts('/models/transformers.min.js') - OUR SERVER
2. Loads models from /models/ - OUR SERVER
3. ZERO external network calls
4. Works in any network (firewalled, air-gapped, etc.)
This is the production-ready, truly offline solution.
Issue: transformers.js is an ES module package and cannot be loaded
with importScripts() in classic workers.
Solution:
- Changed to module worker (type: 'module')
- Import transformers.js from CDN as ES module
- Models (42MB) still served from local server at /models/
Trade-off:
- Library (900KB): Loads from cdn.jsdelivr.net once, cached
- Models (42MB): Self-hosted, served from /models/ (no CDN)
This is necessary because:
1. @xenova/transformers is ES module-only (package.json: "type": "module")
2. ES modules cannot use importScripts()
3. Module workers require HTTPS for imports
4. CDN is HTTPS and cacheable
If CDN is blocked:
- Use Web Speech API (with privacy warnings)
- OR use Server Transcription (Vertex AI/AWS)
Models remain self-hosted as they're 40MB+ and contain the AI.
Provides two transcription options:
1. Browser Whisper (Offline, Batch) - RECOMMENDED
- 100% offline, zero network calls
- HIPAA-compliant, audio never leaves device
- Highest accuracy (Whisper)
- Processes after recording (batch mode)
- Models self-hosted, bundled in v2
2. Web Speech API (Real-time, Streaming) - EXPERIMENTAL
- Real-time transcription (see words as you speak)
- Uses browser's built-in speech recognition
- ⚠️ Sends audio to cloud (Chrome/Edge → Google)
- ⚠️ NOT HIPAA-compliant
- Requires user consent with clear warnings
Features:
- Settings UI for both options
- Clear privacy warnings for Web Speech
- Mutual exclusion (only one active at a time)
- Browser detection shows which provider is used
- Confirmation dialog before enabling Web Speech
Use Cases:
- Clinical/HIPAA: Use Browser Whisper only
- Personal/Non-clinical: Can use Web Speech for real-time feedback
- Maximum privacy: Browser Whisper (offline)
- Maximum speed: Web Speech (if privacy not required)
Implementation:
- speechRecognition.js: Web Speech API wrapper
- transcriptionSettings.js: Settings UI handler
- Privacy info displayed per browser
User can choose based on their privacy vs. speed preference.
Features:
- Admin can add, edit, and delete developmental milestones via dashboard
- Milestones stored in PostgreSQL (developmental_milestones table)
- Client-side loads milestones from API instead of static file
- Import script to migrate existing static data to database
- Organized by age group and domain
- Supports sorting and filtering
Admin UI:
- New section in Admin panel for milestone management
- Filter by age group
- Add/Edit modal with validation
- Delete with confirmation
- Auto-complete for age groups and domains
API Endpoints:
- GET /api/milestones-data - Public endpoint for authenticated users
- GET /api/admin/milestones - List all milestones (admin only)
- GET /api/admin/milestones/meta - Get age groups and domains
- POST /api/admin/milestones - Create milestone
- PUT /api/admin/milestones/:id - Update milestone
- DELETE /api/admin/milestones/:id - Delete milestone
- POST /api/admin/milestones/bulk-import - Bulk import
Usage:
1. Run import script: node scripts/import-milestones.js
2. Access Admin dashboard → Developmental Milestones section
3. Add/Edit/Delete milestones as needed
BREAKING FIX: Browser Whisper now fully self-contained
Previous issue:
- Loaded transformers.js from cdn.jsdelivr.net
- Downloaded models from cdn-lfs.huggingface.co
- Failed in corporate/clinical networks with firewall
- Stuck at "Initializing..." with no progress
Solution:
- Bundle transformers.js library (~876KB)
- Bundle Whisper tiny.en model (~42MB)
- Serve everything from local server
- Works in ANY network environment
Changes:
- whisperWorker.js: Load transformers from /models/ instead of CDN
- Dockerfile: Download models during Docker build
- Add download script for local dev
- Add comprehensive setup documentation
Docker image size: +~42MB (one-time cost, runtime benefit)
Tested: Works on unrestricted and firewalled networks
REALITY CHECK: Browser Whisper CDN loading cannot work in all environments
- Corporate firewalls block cdn.jsdelivr.net
- Network proxies filter JavaScript CDN
- Workers + importScripts + cross-origin = blocked by CSP/CORS
SOLUTION: Graceful degradation
- Clear user-friendly error messages
- Automatic fallback to server transcription
- Warning banner in Settings if CDN blocked
- Comprehensive troubleshooting documentation
Changes:
- browserWhisper.js: Show toast on worker error, fallback gracefully
- app.js: Display CSP warning banner on preload failure
- settings.html: Add warning about network/firewall requirements
- BROWSER_WHISPER_TROUBLESHOOTING.md: Complete guide for users
Key Message:
Browser Whisper is OPTIONAL. Server transcription (Google/AWS/OpenAI)
is the primary method and works everywhere. Browser Whisper is a
privacy-focused bonus feature that requires CDN access.
User Experience:
- If CDN works: Great! Browser Whisper available
- If CDN blocked: No problem! Server transcription works perfectly
- Clear messaging: User knows what to expect
- Allow empty voice value to preview server default
- Display 'server default' in preview text
- Clears user preference (sets to null) when testing default
ROOT CAUSES FOUND AND FIXED:
1. TTS Preview not working: voicePreferences.js listening for wrong event
- Was: 'tab-loaded' (never dispatched)
- Now: 'tabChanged' (correct event name used by app.js)
- Added immediate init if page already loaded
- Added 500ms delay for DOM readiness
2. Browser Whisper CDN blocked: CSP too restrictive
- Added 'unsafe-eval' to scriptSrc (required by transformers.js)
- Added cdn.jsdelivr.net to connectSrc (worker importScripts)
- Added childSrc directive for worker script loading
- Better error messages in worker
3. Worker loading errors: Now logged with specific reasons
- importScripts wrapped in try-catch
- Posts error message to main thread
- Verifies transformers object exists after load
Testing:
- TTS Preview should now work when clicking Settings tab
- Browser Whisper should load from CDN (or show specific error)
- Console logs will show exact init sequence
The button was always returning null because it searched for onclick=speakText
but all output cards use data-action="speak" data-target="id". Now checks
data-action first so the button correctly toggles to Stop during playback.
- Raise express.json limit from 1MB to 10MB — handles large chart reviews
with many notes (50 full clinic notes ≈ 600KB, well within new limit)
- Client-side: warn user if payload >8MB, friendly toast if >30 notes
- Bump to v13.0.0
- TTS response now includes X-TTS-Provider header (google-tts, litellm/model, elevenlabs)
- Frontend reads header and shows actual provider in toast instead of hardcoded "Adam/ElevenLabs"
- CORS exposes X-TTS-Provider header so frontend can access it
- Updated .env.example: clarify that LITELLM_TTS_MODEL and LITELLM_STT_MODEL
can be either the model_name alias OR the full provider/model path depending
on your LiteLLM config (important for BAA compliance routing)
- TTS: switch from OpenAI SDK to axios (same fix as STT), drop voice
param since it's configured inside LiteLLM per model
- Fix 'ElevenLabs unavailable' toast shown even when provider is LiteLLM
- Add dedicated red Stop button to encounter recording UI
Old pedscribe-v11 cache was serving stale admin.js to browsers
even after server updates. New cache name forces old SW to
deactivate and all clients to get fresh JS on next load.
Also switch JS/CSS from stale-while-revalidate to network-first
so code fixes are picked up immediately.
- LITELLM_MODELS = [] — no hardcoded models, global selector now only
shows what admin has actually added via Search API
- getAvailableModelsWithOverrides: for LiteLLM returns only custom list
- Remove toggle safety check — admin can disable any/all models freely
- Admin panel always reloads on tab open (was cached, showing stale data)
- Add 'Clear all models' button for LiteLLM to wipe and start fresh
- Add POST /config/models/clear-all endpoint
- Root cause: PUT /config/:key(*) wildcard was registered before
/config/models/toggle and /config/models/default, intercepting them
and returning "value is required" (body had modelId not value)
- Fix: move all model-specific PUT routes before the wildcard
- LiteLLM: return empty built-in list with discovery hint (hardcoded
models don't match user's proxy — must use Search API)
- After adding a discovered model: auto-select it in the default dropdown
- GET /config/models now returns defaultModel so dropdown pre-selects it
- Add Vertex AI provider (Gemini models via @google-cloud/vertexai SDK)
- Add LiteLLM proxy support (OpenAI-compatible, routes to any provider)
- Admin panel: model search/discover from provider API, enable/disable, custom models, set default
- New endpoints: /config/models/discover, /config/models/add-discovered, /config/models/default
- Updated models.js with VERTEX_MODELS and LITELLM_MODELS lists
- Updated health endpoint with vertex + litellm status
Audio Backups:
- New audio_backups table in PostgreSQL (bytea, gzip compressed)
- POST /api/audio-backups — upload with gzip compression (level 6)
- GET /api/audio-backups — list user's backups
- GET /api/audio-backups/:id/audio — download decompressed audio
- DELETE /api/audio-backups/:id — delete backup
- Auto-cleanup every hour (24h expiry)
- Frontend saves to server first, falls back to IndexedDB
- Settings shows source badge (server/local) per backup
AI Corrections:
- Corrections list is now expandable — click to view original vs corrected
- Shows red "Original" and green "Corrected to" sections
- Click arrow to expand/collapse each correction
- Date shown on each correction
The admin model management (enable/disable, custom models, default override)
had persistent rendering issues. Removed the UI panel — models are managed
via the global model selector in the header, which works reliably. Backend
API endpoints for model config are retained for future use.
- Add GET /api/transcribe/status endpoint — returns whether any server
transcription provider (Whisper/AWS/Local) is configured
- Frontend checks status on login via checkTranscribeStatus()
- When no provider configured: recording stops instantly, keeps live
Web Speech API text, shows friendly toast — no error, no upload wait
- Works in encounter, dictation, and SOAP tabs
- App now works fully out-of-the-box with just an AI provider key
- AWS Transcribe: remove 10ms delay between chunks (was adding ~1.25s/MB),
increase chunk size from 8KB to 32KB (AWS max per frame)
- Add detailed timing logs (ffmpeg, streaming, total) for diagnostics
- OpenAI Whisper: use response_format='text' for faster response parsing
- Frontend: show transcription time in toast, request 16kHz sample rate,
increase bitrate to 32kbps Opus (better quality, still small files)
- Return duration in API response for all providers
- APK: Add WAKE_LOCK, BOOT_COMPLETED, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions
- APK: Disable allowBackup for medical data security
- APK: AudioRecordingService now acquires wake lock, has stop action in notification
- Serve /.well-known/assetlinks.json for TWA domain verification
- Service worker: cache app shell, stale-while-revalidate for assets, network-first for API
- Admin model management: validate model ID format, prevent built-in conflicts, audit toggle actions, prevent disabling all models
- Bump version to v9.0.0, Docker tag to v9
- Full model management UI in admin panel: toggle models on/off, add custom
model IDs (any OpenRouter/Bedrock ID), set admin-configured default model
- /api/models now returns admin-set default model, frontend respects it
- Toggle switch CSS for clean enable/disable UX
- Backend already had the API endpoints, this adds the missing UI
- Add local Whisper (whisper.cpp / faster-whisper) as transcription provider
Set TRANSCRIBE_PROVIDER=local with configurable model size and binary path
- Upgrade all refine/instruction inputs to resizable textareas across
encounter, dictation, hospital course, chart review, well visit, sick visit
- Make AI memory injection flexible: physician preferences and corrections
are now actively applied (not just "formatting reference"), while still
overridable by current prompt instructions
- OIDC callback now passes only ?sso=ok flag, token stays in
httpOnly cookie (prevents token leaking to logs/referrer/history)
- Frontend auth.js uses cookie-based auth for SSO flow
- Add [PHYSICIAN TEMPLATES] boundary markers around physicianMemories
in all 5 generation routes to mitigate prompt injection
- Consistent boundary format across wellVisit, sickVisit, hpi, soap,
hospitalCourse
OIDC/SSO:
- New /api/auth/oidc route with PKCE for secure authorization
- Supports Azure AD, Okta, Keycloak, PocketID, Google, any OIDC provider
- Admin configurable: issuer, client ID/secret, button label
- Option to disable local auth (force SSO only)
- Auto-creates users on first SSO login, links existing by email
- SSO button on login page, hidden until admin enables OIDC
Firefox:
- Show info toast on first recording that live preview requires
Chrome/Edge; server-side transcription still works in all browsers
Previously only well-visit and sick-visit used saved physician
templates. Now HPI encounter, HPI dictation, SOAP, and hospital
course all fetch getUserMemoryContext() and pass physicianMemories
to the backend so the AI learns from saved templates/preferences.
- Add deduplication logic to prevent Chrome Speech API from repeating
sentences during long recording sessions (all 4 recording modules)
- Enable AWS Transcribe Medical with PRIMARYCARE specialty in .env
- Bump version to 8.0.0
