Remote Physio Service (Port 8018)¶
Service Path: machineagents-be/remote-physio-service/
Port: 8018
Total Lines: 1,602
Purpose: ⚠️ CLIENT-SPECIFIC HARDCODED SERVICE for "Remote Physios" - Specialized physiotherapy chatbot with multi-stage consultation flow, bilingual support (English/Hindi), RAG-based exercise/assessment recommendations, and clinical summary generation.
[!CAUTION] > ARCHITECTURAL ISSUE: CLIENT-SPECIFIC CODE IN MAIN PRODUCT
This is a HARDCODED client-specific service embedded in the main MachineAgents product backend. This violates separation of concerns and should be refactored into a configurable multi-tenant system.
Problems:
- Client name "Remote Physios" hardcoded throughout
- Specific API endpoints hardcoded (
rp-api.anubhaanant.com, `api.remoteph
ysios.com`)
- Specialized medical conversation flow not reusable for other chatbots
- Cannot be disabled for non-Remote Physio deployments
- Mixes product code with client-specific logic
Impact: Every deployment includes Remote Physios code even if not used

Service Overview¶
Primary Responsibility¶
Remote Physios Physiotherapy Chatbot: Conducts virtual physiotherapy consultations through an 8-stage conversation flow, collects patient information, generates clinical summaries, and recommends exercises and assessments using RAG.
Client-Specific Purpose¶
This service is built exclusively for "Remote Physios", a specific client offering online physiotherapy consultations. The entire service is tailored to their workflow:
- Language Selection (English or Hindi/Hinglish)
- Patient Onboarding (Name, Age, Weight)
- Problem Assessment (Root cause analysis)
- Clinical Summary Generation (Medical documentation)
- Exercise/Assessment Recommendations (via RAG from knowledge base)
- Follow-up Consultation
- Inactivity Handling (5-minute timeout)
- New Concern Flow (Restart consultation)
Key Features¶

Hardcoded Client-Specific Configuration¶
1. Client Name References¶
Lines with "Remote Physios" hardcoded:
# Line 1037
answer = f"""Hello {state.user_name}! Welcome back to Remote Physios."""
# Line 1045
answer = """Hello! Welcome back to Remote Physios."""
# Line 1113
answer = """If you need further assistance or have any questions, you can contact Remote Physios:"""
# Line 1150
answer = f"""Great, {state.user_name}! I'm happy to help with your new concern."""
# Line 1290
"Hello {state.user_name}! Welcome to Remote Physios."
# Line 1297
"Hello! Welcome to Remote Physios."
# Line 1397
"Hello {state.user_name}! Welcome to Remote Physios."
# Line 1407
"Hello! Welcome to Remote Physios."
Total Occurrences: 15+ hardcoded references to "Remote Physios" brand name
2. Hardcoded API Endpoints¶
Lines 111-112:
DEFAULT_API_BASE = "https://rp-api.anubhaanant.com/api/v1"
REMOTEPHYSIOS_API_BASE = "https://api.remotephysios.com/api/v1"
API Selection Logic (Lines 522, 550, 764):
# Different API based on avtarType
if avtarType == "User-181473_Project_15":
base_url = REMOTEPHYSIOS_API_BASE
else:
base_url = DEFAULT_API_BASE
Problem: User-181473_Project_15 is a magic string identifying Remote Physios client
3. Hardcoded Calendly Link¶
Lines 587-588, 1107, 1114:
if "calendly.com/remotephysios/free-consultation" in url:
return "calendly link for free consultation"
# In responses
📅 Free Consultation: https://calendly.com/remotephysios/free-consultation
Impact: Non-Remote Physios users will see Remote Physios' booking link
4. Hardcoded Prompts Structure¶
Prompt IDs (Lines 818-819, 923-924):
# Hardcoded prompt IDs for Remote Physios
fetch_prompt_from_api(1, avtarType) # Main consultation prompt
fetch_prompt_from_api(2, avtarType) # Assessment specialist
fetch_prompt_from_api(3, avtarType) # Exercise specialist
fetch_prompt_from_api(4, avtarType) # Follow-up prompt
Problem: Prompt IDs 1, 2, 3, 4 are assumed to exist in Remote Physios API
5. Hardcoded Conversation Flow¶
Entire 8-stage state machine is physio-specific:
class SessionState(BaseModel):
stage: str = "language_selection" # Hardcoded stages
# Stages: language_selection → root_problem → follow_up
Medical-Specific Logic:

Database Collections¶
2 MongoDB Collections¶
history_collection = db["chatbot_history"] # Chat messages
user_profiles_collection = db["user_profiles"] # User data
chatbot_history Schema¶
{
"session_id": "remote_physio_session_12345",
"messages": [

"role": "user",
"content": "I have back pain since yesterday",
"timestamp": "2024-01-15 10:30:00"

"content": "I understand. Can you tell me exactly where in your back?",
"timestamp": "2024-01-15 10:30:05"
}

}
History Retrieval (Lines 495-503):
async def get_chat_history_from_db_async(session_id: str):
doc = await asyncio.to_thread(history_collection.find_one, {"session_id": session_id})
messages = doc.get("messages", []) if doc else []
# Return last 30 messages
return [
{"role": msg["role"], "content": msg["content"]}
for msg in messages[-30:]

"age": 35,
"weight": 75.5,
"updated_at": ISODate("2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z")
}
Profile is PERMANENT - Never deleted, even on new concern
RAG System (Hybrid BM25 + Vector)¶
Hybrid Retriever Architecture¶
Two Separate RAG Systems:
- Assessment Retriever - Medical assessments knowledge base
- Exercise Retriever - Physiotherapy exercises knowledge base
Hybrid Search (Lines 807-814, 815-821):
# BM25 (keyword-based) + Dense Vector (semantic)
result = retriever.retrieve(
query=state.summary, # Clinical summary as query
k=5, # Top 5 results
alpha=0.7 # Weight: 0.7 vector + 0.3 BM25
)
Alpha = 0.7:
- 70% weight to dense vector search (semantic similarity)
- 30% weight to BM25 search (keyword matching)
RAG Pipeline (Lines 792-856)¶
Background Processing (After Clinical Summary):
async def run_rag_and_api_pipeline_in_background(state, session_id, avtarType):
# 1. Run parallel retrieval
results = await asyncio.gather(
run_retriever(data_as, state.summary, "assessment"), # Assessment RAG
run_retriever(data_ex, state.summary, "exercise"), # Exercise RAG
fetch_prompt_from_api(2, avtarType), # Assessment prompt
fetch_prompt_from_api(3, avtarType), # Exercise prompt
)
assessment_docs, exercise_docs, prompt_2, prompt_3 = results
# 2. Build context from retrieved documents
assessment_context = "\\n\\n".join([d['text'] for d in assessment_docs])
exercise_context = "\\n\\n".join([d['text'] for d in exercise_docs])
# 3. Generate recommendations using GPT-4
assessment_msgs = [
{"role": "system", "content": f"{prompt_2}\\n\\nContext:\\n{assessment_context}"},
{"role": "user", "content": f"Assessments for: {state.summary}"}
]
exercise_msgs = [
{"role": "system", "content": f"{prompt_3}\\n\\nContext:\\n{exercise_context}"},
{"role": "user", "content": f"Exercises for: {state.summary}"}
]
assessment_resp, exercise_resp = await asyncio.gather(
lc_generate_from_simple_messages(assessment_msgs),
lc_generate_from_simple_messages(exercise_msgs)
)
# 4. Store in session state
state.assessments = assessment_resp
state.exercises = exercise_resp
# 5. Send to Remote Physios API
await send_data_to_api(state.summary, assessment_resp, "Not applicable",
exercise_resp, session_id, avtarType)
RAG Artifacts Initialization (Lines 122-131):
data_as = AssessmentRetriever(artifacts_dir=ASSESSMENT_ARTIFACTS_PATH)
data_ex = ExerciseRetriever(artifacts_dir=EXERCISE_ARTIFACTS_PATH)
If RAG fails to initialize, service exits:
API Integration Points¶
1. Remote Physios API Endpoints¶
Base URL Selection (Lines 522, 550, 764):
def get_base_url(avtarType):
if avtarType == "User-181473_Project_15":
return "https://api.remotephysios.com/api/v1"
else:
return "https://rp-api.anubhaanant.com/api/v1"
API Endpoints Used:
GET /chatbot-prompts/{prompt_id}- Fetch conversation prompts
# Lines 540-566
async def fetch_prompt_from_api(prompt_id: int, avtarType: str):
url = f"{base_url}/chatbot-prompts/{prompt_id}"
headers = {"Origin": "https://api.machineavatars.com"}
response = await async_http_client.get(url, headers=headers)
prompt_content = response.json().get("data", {}).get("prompt")
return prompt_content
POST /chatbot/save- Save chat history to Remote Physios backend
# Lines 520-538
async def save_chat_to_api_async(session_id, question, answer, avtarType):
url = f"{base_url}/chatbot/save"
payload = {
"threadId": session_id,
"clientId": session_id,
"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": question},
{"role": "assistant", "content": answer"}
]
}
await async_http_client.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
POST /cb-assessments- Send clinical summary + RAG results# Lines 761-790 async def send_data_to_api(state_summary, rag_result, evaluation, rag_result_ex, session_id, avtarType): url = f"{base_url}/cb-assessments" payload = { "clinicalSummary": state_summary, "assessment": rag_result, "evaluation": evaluation, "exercise": rag_result_ex, "clientId": session_id } await client.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
2. Prompt Caching (Lines 103-105, 540-566)¶
LRU Cache for API Prompts:
prompt_cache = LRUCache(maxsize=128)
prompt_cache_lock = Lock()
# Check cache before API call
cache_key = (prompt_id, avtarType)
with prompt_cache_lock:
if cache_key in prompt_cache:
logger.info(f"Cache HIT: prompt {prompt_id}")
return prompt_cache[cache_key]
# Store in cache after fetch
with prompt_cache_lock:
prompt_cache[cache_key] = prompt_content
Cache Size: 128 prompts max (likely sufficient for 4 prompts × multiple avatars)
Main Conversation Flow¶
POST /v2/get-response-physio (Lines 889-1473)¶
Primary Endpoint - 584 Lines of Logic
Request:
POST /v2/get-response-physio
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
question=I+have+back+pain
&session_id=remote_physio_12345
&avtarType=User-181473_Project_15
Flow Overview:
1. Load session state
2. Check inactivity (>5 min)
3. Fetch data in parallel (history, prompts, profile)
4. Load user profile from DB
5. Extract user info from question (name, age, weight)
6. Extract initial problem description
7. Handle special cases (inactivity, new concern, acknowledgment)
8. Detect language preference
9. Build context (profile, medical history, language)
10. Get GPT response
11. Handle state transitions (detect clinical summary)
12. Generate TTS + lip-sync in parallel
13. Save to DB + API
14. Return response
Detailed Flow Steps¶
Step 1: Initialize Session State (Lines 891)¶
Session states stored in memory - Will be lost on service restart
Step 2: Inactivity Detection (Lines 894-911)¶
history = await get_chat_history_from_db_async(session_id)
now = datetime.now(pytz.timezone("Asia/Kolkata"))
if state.last_user_message_time:
time_since_last_message = (now - state.last_user_message_time).total_seconds()
if time_since_last_message > 300 and current_history_length > 4:
if not state.user_returned_after_inactivity:
state.user_returned_after_inactivity = True
state.previous_conversation_summary = extract_conversation_preview(history)
Step 3: Parallel Data Fetch (Lines 920-927)¶
results = await asyncio.gather(
get_chat_history_from_db_async(session_id),
fetch_prompt_from_api(1, avtarType), # Main prompt
fetch_prompt_from_api(4, avtarType), # Follow-up prompt
get_user_profile(session_id),
return_exceptions=True
)
Performance: 4 operations in parallel (2-3 seconds total vs 8-12 sequential)
Step 4: Load User Profile (Lines 937-948)¶
if user_profile and not state.profile_loaded:
state.user_name = user_profile.get('name')
state.user_age = user_profile.get('age')
state.user_weight = user_profile.get('weight')
state.name_permanently_stored = user_profile.get('name_stored', False)
state.profile_loaded = True
Step 5: Extract User Info from Text (Lines 950-974)¶
Regex Patterns for Name/Age/Weight:
def extract_user_info_from_text(text: str, name_already_stored: bool):
# Name patterns
name_patterns = [
r"(?:my name is|i am|i'm|naam hai|mera naam)\\s+([A-Za-z]+)",
r"^([A-Z][a-z]+)\\s*(?:here|hai)",
]
# Age patterns
age_patterns = [
r"(?:age|umar|umra)(?:\\s+is)?\\s*(?:hai)?\\s*(\\d{1,3})",
r"(\\d{1,3})\\s*(?:years?|saal|sal)(?:\\s+old)?",
]
# Weight patterns
weight_patterns = [
r"(?:weight|wazan|vajan)(?:\\s+is)?\\s*(?:hai)?\\s*(\\d{1,3}(?:\\.\\d+)?)\\s*(?:kg)?",
r"(\\d{1,3}(?:\\.\\d+)?)\\s*(?:kg|kgs|kilos?)",
]
return {"name": ..., "age": ..., "weight": ...}
Save to DB in background:
if profile_updated:
asyncio.create_task(save_user_profile(session_id, name=..., age=..., weight=...))
Step 6: Extract Initial Problem (Lines 976-982)¶
if not state.initial_problem_description and not state.problem_already_described:
problem_desc = extract_problem_description(question, history)
if problem_desc:
state.initial_problem_description = problem_desc
state.problem_already_described = True
Problem Detection (Lines 426-454):
- Skip if just greeting ("hi", "hello", "namaste")
- Skip if too short (<5 words)
- Check for problem keywords: "pain", "dard", "hurt", "swelling", "injury", etc.
Language Support (English/Hindi)¶
Language Detection (Lines 378-394)¶
Detect Language Preference:
def detect_language_preference(user_input: str) -> Optional[str]:
user_lower = user_input.lower().strip()
# Keyword-based
if any(word in user_lower for word in ["english", "angrezi", "angrez"]):
return "english"
elif any(word in user_lower for word in ["hindi", "हिंदी", "हिन्दी", "hinglish"]):
return "hindi"
# Unicode-based (Devanagari script)
if any('\\u0900' <= char <= '\\u097F' for char in user_input):
return "hindi"
return None
Hindi = Hinglish: Hindi in English script (not Devanagari)

Note: Both voices use AartiNeural, just different language variants
User Profile Management¶
Profile Persistence (PERMANENT)¶
Lines 160-165:

Profile NEVER reset on new concern - stays for entire user lifetime
Profile Context in Prompts (Lines 1189-1254)¶
Complete Profile:

=== 🎯 USER PROFILE ===
✓ Name: {state.user_name}
✓ Age: {state.user_age} years

⚠️ CRITICAL - NAME USAGE RULES:
🚫 DO NOT say things like "Do you have fever, {state.user_name}?"
🚫 DO NOT end questions with the patient's name
✅ Use name in initial greeting or when specifically addressing the patient
✅ Ask questions naturally: "Do you have any fever?" NOT "Do you have fever, {state.user_name}?"
EXAMPLES OF WHAT TO AVOID:
❌ "Is there any swelling in your upper legs, {state.user_name}?"
❌ "Do you have any medical history, {state.user_name}?"
CORRECT WAY:
✅ "Is there any swelling in your upper legs?"
✅ "Do you have any medical history?"
✅ "Thank you, {state.user_name}! I'm here to help you."

Security Analysis¶
🔴 CRITICAL: Hardcoded Azure TTS API Key¶
Line 650:
speech_config = speechsdk.SpeechConfig(
subscription="9N41NOfDyVDoduiD4EjlzmZU9CbUX3pPqWfLCORpl7cBf0l2lzVQJQQJ99BCACGhslBXJ3w3AAAYACOG2329",
region="centralindia"
)
Risk: Same key as other services - high exposure
🔴 CRITICAL: Hardcoded Azure OpenAI API Key¶
Lines 99, 708, 744:
openai_client = AsyncAzureOpenAI(
azure_endpoint='https://eastus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/',
api_key='0d9d78cabb4c4e22a5b4a6ef53253155', # HARDCODED
api_version="2024-02-01",
)
# Also used as default in LangChain
api_key=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY", "0d9d78cabb4c4e22a5b4a6ef53253155")
Total Hardcoded Keys: 2 (TTS + OpenAI)
🟠 SECURITY: Overly Permissive CORS¶
Lines 69-71:
app.add_middleware(
CORSMiddleware,
allow_origins=["*"], # ANY ORIGIN
allow_credentials=True,
allow_methods=["*"],
allow_headers=["*"],
)
🟡 CODE QUALITY: Magic String for Client Detection¶
Lines 522, 550, 764:
if avtarType == "User-181473_Project_15":
base_url = REMOTEPHYSIOS_API_BASE
else:
base_url = DEFAULT_API_BASE
Problem: "User-181473_Project_15" is magic string identifying Remote Physios
Better Approach:
REMOTE_PHYSIOS_AVATAR_ID = os.getenv("REMOTE_PHYSIOS_AVATAR_ID", "User-181473_Project_15")
if avtarType == REMOTE_PHYSIOS_AVATAR_ID:
...
🟡 CODE QUALITY: Session State in Memory¶
Line 194:
Problem:
- Lost on service restart
- No sharing across multiple service instances (horizontal scaling)
- Memory leak potential (no cleanup)
Fix: Store in Redis or MongoDB
🟡 DATA INTEGRITY: Profile Stored in User Profiles Collection¶
Lines 471-493:
await asyncio.to_thread(
user_profiles_collection.update_one,
{"session_id": session_id},
{"$set": update_data},
upsert=True
)
Issue: User profiles tied to session_id, not user_id
Impact: Same user with different session_id = different profile
🟢 GOOD PRACTICE: Performance Timing¶
Lines 57-65:

@functools.wraps(func)
async def async_wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
start = time.perf_counter()
result = await func(*args, **kwargs)

return result
return async_wrapper
Decorated Functions:
text_to_speech_azureconvert_wav_to_pcm_asyncgenerate_lip_sync_asyncget_gpt_responsefetch_prompt_from_apisend_data_to_api
🟢 GOOD PRACTICE: Prompt Caching¶
Lines 540-566:
Reduces API calls to Remote Physios for prompts (LRU cache with 128 max)
Refactoring Recommendations¶
1. Extract Client-Specific Configuration¶
CreateConfigurablePhysioService:
class PhysioServiceConfig(BaseModel):
client_name: str = "Generic Physiotherapy"
api_base_url: str
calendly_link: Optional[str] = None
avatar_id: str
supported_languages: List[str] = ["english", "hindi"]
consultation_stages: List[str] = ["language_selection", "root_problem", "follow_up"]
rag_enabled: bool = True
# Load from database or config file per chatbot
config = load_config(project_id, user_id)
2. Move to Multi-Tenant Architecture¶
Instead of:
Use:
chatbot_config = db["chatbot_configurations"].find_one({"avatarType": avtarType})
base_url = chatbot_config.get("api_base_url") or DEFAULT_API_BASE
3. Externalize Hardcoded Strings¶
Move to database/config:
- Brand name ("Remote Physios")
- API endpoints
- Calendly links
- Prompt IDs
- Magic strings
4. Make State Machine Configurable¶
Current: Hardcoded 8-stage flow for physiotherapy
Better: Load stage configuration per chatbot type
stage_config = {
"physiotherapy": ["language", "onboarding", "assessment", "summary", "follow_up"],
"general_support": ["greeting", "problem", "resolution"],
"sales": ["greeting", "qualification", "demo", "close"]
}
5. Session State to Redis¶
Current: In-memory dictionary (session_states = {})
Better: Redis with TTL
6. Separate Generic Chatbot Service¶
Architecture:
machineagents-be/
├── generic-chatbot-service/ # Base chatbot with configurable flows
│ ├── state_machine.py # Configurable state machine
│ ├── profile_manager.py # Reusable profile management
│ └── context_extractor.py # Medical/domain context extraction
│
└── client-configurations/ # Client-specific configs (not code!)
├── remote-physios.yaml # Remote Physios configuration
├── therapist-ai.yaml # Another therapy client
└── default.yaml # Default chatbot config
Prompt Structure Details¶
4 Prompts from Remote Physios API¶
The service fetches 4 different prompts from the Remote Physios API, each serving a distinct purpose in the consultation flow:
Prompt Fetching (Lines 818-819, 923-924):
# Parallel fetch
results = await asyncio.gather(
fetch_prompt_from_api(1, avtarType), # Main consultation prompt
fetch_prompt_from_api(2, avtarType), # Assessment specialist prompt
fetch_prompt_from_api(3, avtarType), # Exercise specialist prompt
fetch_prompt_from_api(4, avtarType), # Follow-up prompt
)
Prompt Usage Breakdown¶
Prompt 1: Main Consultation Prompt
- Used in: Primary conversation flow (Lines 923, 1418)
- Purpose: Guides GPT through patient assessment and clinical summary generation
- Expected Content:
You are a physiotherapy assistant conducting a virtual consultation.
Your goal is to gather patient information and provide a clinical summary.
Ask targeted questions about:
1. Pain location and characteristics
2. Duration and onset
3. Aggravating/relieving factors
4. Medical history
5. Previous treatments
When you have enough information, provide a structured clinical summary...
Prompt 2: Assessment Specialist Prompt
- Used in: RAG pipeline for assessments (Lines 818, 834)
- Purpose: Generate assessment recommendations based on clinical summary + retrieved documents
- Expected Content:
You are a physiotherapy assessment specialist.
Based on the clinical summary and assessment protocols provided,
recommend appropriate assessments for diagnosis.
Context: [RAG-retrieved assessment documents]
Provide:
1. Primary assessments to conduct
2. Expected findings
3. Red flags to watch for
Prompt 3: Exercise Specialist Prompt
- Used in: RAG pipeline for exercises (Lines 819, 838)
- Purpose: Generate exercise plan based on clinical summary + retrieved exercises
- Expected Content:
You are a physiotherapy exercise specialist.
Based on the clinical summary and exercise library provided,
design a personalized exercise plan.
Context: [RAG-retrieved exercise documents]
Provide:
1. Progressive exercise protocol
2. Dosage (sets, reps, duration)
3. Precautions and contraindications
Prompt 4: Follow-up Prompt
- Used in: Post-summary interactions (Lines 924, 1422)
- Purpose: Guide conversations after clinical summary is shown
- Expected Content:
You have already provided a clinical summary to the patient.
Answer any questions they have about the summary, assessments, or exercises.
Encourage them to:
- Book a consultation if needed
- Start exercises gradually
- Monitor symptoms
Prompt API Response Format¶
Expected API Response (Lines 555-559):
{
"data": {
"id": 1,
"prompt": "You are a physiotherapy assistant...",
"created_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
"updated_at": "2024-01-20T15:45:00Z"
}
}
Alternative Format:
Fallback (Lines 558-559):
prompt_content = data.get("data", {}).get("prompt") or data.get("content")
if not prompt_content:
raise ValueError(f"Prompt not found: {prompt_id}")

Docker Compose Override:
- Docker run command:
uvicorn src.main:app ... --port 8018 - Direct Python run:
uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000) - Production uses Docker → Port 8018 ✅
- Local development might use Port 8000 ⚠️

Critical Architectural Issues¶
- 🔴 Client-Specific Code in Main Product - Should be configurable
- 🔴 Hardcoded API Keys (2 discovered)
- 🔴 Hardcoded Brand References (15+ occurrences)
- 🔴 Magic Strings (
"User-181473_Project_15") - 🟡 Session State in Memory - Not scalable
- 🟡 No Multi-Tenancy - One client = entire service
Immediate Actions Needed¶
- Extract hardcoded API keys to environment variables
- Document refactoring plan to make service generic
- Create migration path to client configuration system
- Restrict CORS to specific origins
- Move session state to Redis
- Create client configuration schema for Remote Physios
