Summary

The text provides a comprehensive guide for developers to create a basic psychotherapy app for iOS using the Stream Chat platform and Dolby.io's audio and video capabilities. It begins by introducing Stream's newly released Video API, which allows developers to build live video and voice calling features through a unified API. The guide details the setup process, including creating an Xcode project, installing dependencies with CocoaPods, and configuring Stream Chat and Dolby.io SDKs with necessary credentials. It walks through creating a "Join" screen for patients and therapists, setting up chat functionality, and implementing video call features using Dolby.io's conference options. The guide emphasizes HIPAA compliance for both platforms and provides a step-by-step code example, encouraging developers to explore further documentation for additional features and compliance information.
