Thanks! Updated :D

COVID and social distancing have made it harder to meet new people and make friends.

My friends and I are having a having a hard time ourselves so we decided to make an app, Linx, that connects people based on common interests and humor. The goal of Linx is to connect you to wholesome new friends that like the same things as you. We are currently on Android in the San Francisco Bay area and LA. Would love some feedback. iOS is coming out soon.

As someone who works in healthcare clinically and also is a product designer, I agree with some certain parts of your idea. It would certainly help providers. While you are right that providers might not like documentation and filling out forms, other staffs like nursing hates typing reports. Getting rid of forms would lengthen nursing documentation which would directly delay patient care more than providers having to fill out forms. Delaying nursing care would stagnate patient flow which directly impacts hospital's bottom line. Furthermore, there are quality metrics and other stats hospitals measure that the cost of getting wrong would be more than the cost of spending a little extra to get it right since it affects ratings etc. Hospitals are too risk averse so how widely they depend on NLP would be questionable. What we need is better designers to design the EHRs better to actually fit the reality of operations. A lot of times you have hospital admins making decisions on form designs without understanding usability so you end up with horrible forms.

I don't think EHRs are going away anytime soon because of their strong integration and impact on hospital operations. I would love for Amazon to partner with existing EHR companies but those companies tend not to be very open with their applications. If anything, Amazon can use this as a way to get into the EHR business and slowly take away the operational control EHRs have over hospitals.

Anyone tried TeamWave? http://www.teamwave.com/

This is interesting. You feel gravity less when you are in fluids. Does this mean all babies feel gravity differently because we all experience different amounts of fluid in the womb (not to mention the variations in baby sizes)? The impact is probably miniscule but I wonder if it has any effect on development of babies in the womb.

If you are going to do healthcare startup, you definitely need people who work in healthcare especially MD. Figure out areas hospitals are losing money and what they are afraid of. Make things that solves that. If you look into Obamacare, you can see a lot of consequences for hospitals/clinics. I'm a nurse and also a designer who happen to be really into tech and have developer friends. Working on developing platform to streamline patient education with a major hospital. Got into it because I was annoyed with how things were done. Thanks for healthcare experience and having other healthcare people on team, I was able to pass through a lot of the politics.

I'm in the hospital taking care of patients. And I do design for fun.
