Thoughts as of January 20th, 2026
Last two years
I have taken my time trying to work on amazing stuffs in the health system. I was passionately seeking every amazing person arround me to help build healthcare system that would honestly work for African users majorly. First, I was thinking of AI use in healthcare then I saw that the level of inefficiency and manual labour used is too high and when digitalization has not taken place, AI can't come in.
I set arround with friends
Some saw it early and left, some just was inefficient, but in all we kept working to solve a problem. To build:
- A hospital management system that could have a distributed database and not require server cost and working fully offline. That's taking cost of adoption and maintenance to zero and no need for an IT team, just use the HMS and streamline/digitize all operations.
- Build a patient app: finally beat the long wait in banks and help in preventive medicine as much as possible. Utilize AI to easy 24/7 access to medical care and give people a way to reach there hospitals at all time especially at emergencies.
- Any other things that boosts health accessibility and efficiency.
Yes, on paper it's nice. I just disclosed a billion dollar idea to you, time for you to work on it right.
Exactly, that's what I did.
But then ...
It is not just the idea, we could build the app but would you trust a computer science student in his third year to build the application that your whole hospital and most times the lifes of people depend on? If I did build the app and it came in the news it would be nice but, again, it's not nollywood.
I could work on my experience in the health doctor and probably, launch this same project 5 years from now. A masters/PhD student and a practicing medical student. I'd have about 9 years of experience then and have spent the last 5 years of that working in the health sector either by research or by application development or what ever shape that might take. Wouldn't you trust the later better. I don't even believe the problem of the health sector would be solved globally in 20 years time because as tech and medicine evolves so does our understanding of human body and hence would need even more advancement in tech to solve all problems.
This is my personal note, so you're reading my raw, unedited notes.
My interest in cancer and my approach to contribute through digital pathology is the essense of my note, a way to communicate with others interested in digital pathology and the use of AI imaging and deep learning to uncover deep insights into cancerous cells.
That's what this notes would be about.
And off course any other random thoughts like this would be here and lessons from the classroom
Time to go back to some slides!
