Build a React Native Mental Health App with Stream Chat & Video Call
Blog post from Stream
In a tutorial by Simon, readers are guided through the process of building a React Native mental health app that facilitates secure real-time communication between clients and therapists via chat and video consultations, incorporating role-based access control. The app leverages Stream's Chat and Video SDKs for core communication functionalities and uses a Node.js API for authentication and secure user token generation. Expo Router aids navigation, NativeWind provides styling, and additional tools like React Hook Form and Zod handle authentication screen development. The project demonstrates setting up Stream roles and permissions, enabling therapists to manage user interactions and access session recordings and transcripts. The tutorial's architecture supports various industries requiring private, real-time communication, and offers step-by-step guidance for integrating sophisticated features such as AI meeting summaries and real-time language translation.
