I'm a Computer Science majora self-proclaimed tech addict who once coded just for the thrill of solving problems. Pero... (Must read for CS majors)

[PHC-CHAEE]

At first, it was all about the logic, the algorithms, the satisfaction of seeing my code compile without errors. "Ang saya pala," I’d think—there’s joy in building things from scratch, in watching systems come to life because of lines I wrote.

But then, reality hit.

I started noticing things—big, painful gaps in our world that tech could help bridge, if only someone cared enough to try.

The Dream That Won’t Let Me Go​

I may not have taken the pre-med path, but I’ve always felt this quiet pull toward healthcare. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen:

• A lola taking the wrong medication because no one explained it properly.
• A doctor drowning in paperwork instead of focusing on patients.
• Families lost in a maze of hospital bureaucracy when they should only be worrying about getting better.

And I can’t shake this thought: What if technology could actually make things better?

Not by replacing doctors—never that—but by giving them tools to work faster, smarter, more humanely.
Not by complicating healthcare—but by simplifying it for the people who need it most.

The Vision (If I Dare to Dream)​

Imagine a system where:

• Patients aren’t left guessing—their lab results, prescriptions, and doctor’s notes are clear, accessible, and in terms they actually understand.
• Doctors spend less time fighting clunky software and more time doing what they trained for: healing.
• Hospitals aren’t held back by outdated tech but are empowered by it—secure, efficient, and actually designed for humans.

And yes, maybe even an AI layer—not to diagnose, not to decide, but to assist. To flag dangerous drug interactions. To translate complex medical jargon into plain language. To remind patients when to take their *****—because life gets busy, and sometimes, people forget.

The Hard Truths​

I know it’s not simple.

• Regulations? A minefield.
• Legacy systems? A nightmare to work with.
• Trust? Hard to earn, easy to lose.

And the biggest one: I’m not a doctor. I don’t have all the answers.

But here’s what I do have:

• A skillset that can build things.
• A stubborn belief that tech should serve people—not the other way around.
• And this quiet, relentless hope that maybe—maybe—the right people will see this and think, "Tara, let’s try."

So Here’s My Ask​

If you’re a:

• Doctor who’s ever cursed at a slow EHR system…
• Developer who’s worked with healthcare data…
• Patient who’s felt lost in the system…
• Or just someone who cares about fixing things that matter…

Talk to me.

What’s broken? What’s missing? What’s one small thing we could build today that would make a real difference?

Because this isn’t just about code. It’s about people—the ones struggling to navigate a system that should be helping them, not hurting them.

And if there’s even a slight chance we can make it better, shouldn’t we try?

na remember ko nung last work ko nagpagawa kami ng warehouse management program, yung programmer walang alam sa gagamitan ng program kaya need talaga ng technical team and not just a programmer, tatabihan talaga siya ng end-user to guide him on what should the program do, it is always a team's work

maganda yung hangarin mong makatulong sa medical field bossing, sayang at di ako medical but for sure meron ka diyan mahahanap to assemble your team

bitin ang effectiveness kung gagawin mo lang para sa isang ospital, o clinic. these things are best done nationwide. which is to say na hindi naman technology ang problema d'yan kundi budget.

there are systems already in use (overseas), exactly for this purpose. for instance, where i am, maski saang clinic, medical centre, hospital, pati na emegency services (ambulance) have access to your medical records. ganun din sa dentista. for medical records, there's an app on my phone where i can see my history:

• doctor visits
  • kung para saan
  • anong procedure ginawa
  • anong gamot ang prescribed
• annual checkup
  • results of your medical tests

so yes. you have a very noble objective. pero hindi technology ang limitation. good luck sa adhikain mo at marami ang mapapabuti pag nagawan mo ng paraan ito para sa Pilipinas.
