Document a visit before you start the car.
CareBridge turns a 4-minute voice note in a parking lot into an audit-ready DAP, SOAP, BIRP, GIRP, or AWARDS note in 10 seconds — voice in, structured note out, signed and timestamped.
What CareBridge is
A Telegram-first toolkit for the case manager who isn't at a desk. Pull up a client, search the knowledge base, capture a visit by voice, draft a JCC referral — all from your phone, in a parking lot, a shelter doorway, or a kitchen table.
Behind the chat, the platform is a HIPAA-aware backend with audit logs, role-based access, and per-program scoping. The Telegram bot is just the input device; the record-of-truth lives in CareBridge with signed BAAs and standard access controls.
