🏗️ Architecture

• Frontend: Next.js with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS
• Backend: FastAPI with Python
• AI Agents: Fetch.ai uAgents for coordination
• Voice AI: Vapi for voice communication
• Data Intelligence: Bright Data for real-time information
• Maps: Mapbox for interactive shelter mapping
• UI/UX: Framer Motion for smooth animations

💡 Problem

Every day, hospitals discharge unhoused patients with nowhere safe to go. Manual coordination between hospitals, shelters, transport providers, and social workers is slow, fragmented, and error-prone.

📊 Studies show that over 50–70% of homeless patients in U.S. hospitals are discharged to unsafe or unstable environments without a clear care plan.

💡 Solution — CareLink

CareLink is a decentralized, voice-enabled coordination system that connects hospitals, shelters, transport services, and social workers through Fetch.ai agents, Bright Data, and Vapi voice calls.

It automates discharge planning, verifies real shelter availability, arranges transportation, and connects social workers — all through a human-centered, AI-assisted workflow.

🧭 Vision

Ensure every unhoused patient leaving a hospital has:

• A verified shelter placement
• A coordinated transport route
• A connected social worker for continuity of care
• Access to basic post-discharge needs like meals, clothing, and medication

All orchestrated seamlessly through voice, automation, and community data.

⚙️ How It Works

🧠 Fetch.ai Multi-Agent Network

Core Coordination Agents

Agent	Role	Port
🏥 HospitalAgent	Collects discharge details and starts coordination	8001
🧭 CoordinatorAgent	Manages agent communication and Bright Data queries	8002
🏠 ShelterAgent	Manages capacity info retrieved from Bright Data or voice calls	8003
🚐 TransportAgent	Schedules transport and tracks progress	8004
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 SocialWorkerAgent	Connects to follow-up care and approves placement	8005
❤️ FollowUpCareAgent	Conducts post-discharge check-ins via voice	8006

Specialized Service Agents

Agent	Role	Port
📄 ParserAgent	Parses discharge documents with LlamaParse + Gemini to autofill intake	8011
🥣 ResourceAgent	Coordinates food, hygiene kits, and clothing post-discharge	8007
💊 PharmacyAgent	Ensures medication continuity via pharmacy coordination	8008
🧾 EligibilityAgent	Automates benefit verification (Medi-Cal, GA, SNAP)	8009
📊 AnalyticsAgent	Collects non-PII metrics for system optimization	8010

Agent Network Architecture:

Parser → Hospital → Coordinator → [Shelter, Transport, SocialWorker, FollowUp]
                                        ↓           ↓            ↓
                                   [Resource, Pharmacy, Eligibility]
                                                  ↓
                                             Analytics

🌐 Bright Data Integration (Data Intelligence Layer)

Instead of relying on static or outdated lists, Bright Data continuously retrieves and refreshes real-world information such as:

• Live San Francisco shelter listings from HSH and other local sources
• Publicly available community resource databases (food banks, medical respite, outreach centers)
• Transport provider schedules (municipal and nonprofit)

🔊 Vapi Voice Integration

Vapi powers the human interaction layer — ensuring accessibility for shelters and social workers who rely on phone communication.

• Shelter Availability Calls: Vapi contacts shelters automatically each evening
• Social Worker Outreach: Vapi calls social workers to confirm patient assignments
• Transport Coordination: Calls transport providers to schedule patient pickup/drop-off
• Follow-Up Calls: Conducts post-discharge voice check-ins with patients
