Various embodiments of a computer-implemented system for universal secure messaging in a clinical setting including a messaging broker are disclosed.

Messaging protocols used by components in a messaging system to exchange messages conventionally use a reliability mechanism to ensure that each message sent by a sender is received, without compromise, by the intended receiver. Typically, this reliability mechanism involves use of a returned acknowledgement message to the message sender, with automatic retransmission of the message by the sender when the acknowledgement message is not received (e.g. within a defined timeframe). However, existing acknowledgement-based reliability mechanisms require that a sender identifier be included in the message header, which increases the overhead of the message. The present disclosure provides an epoch-based reliability mechanism that allows the sender identifier to be omitted from the message header to minimize overhead and maximize the efficient use of the available bandwidth.

A messaging system, which hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client, includes a voice chat system that provides voice chat functionality that enables users to dictate their messages, while delivering the resulting message to the intended recipient as both the associated audio and text content. When a user at a sender client device begins dictating a voice message, the voice chat system starts converting the received audio stream into text and, also, starts communicating the audio content together with the generated text to the recipient client device. The recipient user can listen to the voice message and read the text generated from the audio in real time. It is also possible for the recipient user to consume the voice message in a textual form only, if the sound at the client device is undesirable.
