Origin Story

Built to solve something real

Why I’m building E-Canon, what I’ve learned so far, and the principles guiding the work.

Origins

I didn’t start this because of one moment. There were many threads—but early on I saw how broken our healthcare system is. We all have stories of avoidable mistakes. For years I stayed passive, until it reached me personally. I personally experienced a harmful drug–drug interaction from a routine prescription. It could have been prevented with better checks at the point of care.

We deserve better. I’m taking an active path. This first version—now in development, with an initial release planned this quarter—is my practical response, not a promise to fix everything but a commitment to do my best within my means.

This work stands on the efforts of many. Builders in Palestine have already pushed parts of the solution forward. I want them to succeed, and I hope this adds something useful alongside their work.

I’m documenting the build in public—weekly logs, decisions, and mistakes included.

All examples are anonymized. This site is informational only and not medical advice.

Seed

…the seed was simple: the stories people share about their experiences in our healthcare system—stories of mistakes, delays, and avoidable harm. I heard them all my life, and I lived some of them myself…

First breakthrough

...the system is under active development, and I’m fighting to bring it to life—piece by piece, decision by decision. Nothing about this has been easy, but every part feels necessary...

What stayed

...a quiet calm, a stubborn determination, and an honest disillusionment I’ve learned to live with. These are the things that stayed with me, and they shape how I build...

Principles I keep

  • Simplicity is a discipline :remove clutter until what remains makes sense.
  • Attention is finite:interfaces should respect the limits of human focus.
  • Ownership matters: your data should never outlive your control over it.
  • Privacy is sacred: what you entrust to the system stays protected, unseen, and never exploited.

Perosnal Notes
