CuraAPI

CuraAPI is the backend service for the Cura Virtual Health Assistant, developed as part of SalamHack 2025 by Team Nexus. It is built using ASP.NET Core and provides essential features such as user authentication, notifications, and communication with the AI model.

This API is responsible for handling secure user data, sending notifications, managing messaging to the AI model, and supporting medication reminders.

Features

• User Authentication: Secure login, registration, and profile management using JWT.
• Notifications: Send and manage notifications for users about their health-related tasks (e.g., medication reminders).
• Message Communication: Send messages to the AI model for medical assistance or queries.
• AI Integration: The API interacts with the AI model (Cura.AiModel) for generating medical responses.
