I think of it as something to put on my "life CV"; it might not be an astounding technical achievement, but I'll remember it and be glad I did it for my whole life.

Beyond the technical constraints, there's just the domain itself. I've focused my efforts in this domain of just digitizing paper processes. There's so much to know from a regulation standpoint and a quirky middle man chain standpoint.
Some of my proudest accomplishments in my career is just standing anything up that replaces paper even partially. I've been praised many times for just making something that works after so many have failed. None of what I did was technical amazing. A lot of what I did was just doing a lot of reading and talking to people and I'm amazed how many engineers weren't doing that.
I think at least for the NHS, making procurement more effficient would actually be a pretty impactful idea. It cost us more than a year's licence fee just to onboard each trust, as they're all different.
My wife was considered at risk for gestational diabetes but I’m not sure if she was directed towards an app.
What do you think about Badger Notes?
I'll share what I can. The app[0] we built is now owned by Huma, and is active in I think about half of all NHS trusts. You have to be attached to one of those trusts to gain access to it. I'm aware of Badger, but I never saw it in use, so I can't say much about it. I think they weren't quite a direct competitor as we were purely targeting gestational diabetes, and they are more of a general-purpose system. But perhaps they now have enough specialisation in gestational diabetes to be a decent tool in their own right.
