Regarding your joy in working in tech, what types of administrative work can technology reduce for healthcare professionals? I find it depressing to see my general practitioner in front of a computer, typing in stuff, taking more time than it used to with paper.



Thanks for the interest! The things you mention are exactly what we are looking to solve! Basically we are doing speech recognition specifically for the healthcare domain, so that for instance your GP or nurse can just report by voice instead of typing. It can really save them a lot of time that they can then spend to provide better care.

Also, electronic health record systems (EHRs) like Epic generally have horrible UX, e.g. navigating to a specific page might take 6+ clicks. We'd like to improve that by for example enabling navigation by voice, filling in forms by voice, etc.


This seems like a fantastic idea. Voice assistant which could replace mundane navigation through web interface seems would be desirable for a greater good. Good luck with execution!
