Health Harmony
My Personal Passion Project
​All of my life, I have maintained a pretty healthy lifestyle. But in August 2021, I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer. This diagnosis turned my life, and my family's life, upside down. Overnight, I went from being a healthy individual to a cancer patient with a complex care plan, a bunch of new medications, a bunch of new members of my care team, and a lot of new side effects that I've never experienced before.
​
When I first started this cancer journey, I knew it was going to be important to keep track of my appointments, my medications, and my symptoms in between my regular doctor appointments. As I started going through this journey, I quickly realized that managing my appointments and my symptoms with pen and paper was not going to cut it. I realized that if I couldn't find a ready-made solution, maybe I could design one. ​
Rooted in My Own Healthcare Experiences
Cancer is an overwhelming disease & it takes over every aspect of your life.
It limits what you can do, what you can eat, and how you interact with the world. I have spent and continue to spend a significant amount of time in hospitals and doctors' offices.​When I first started conceiving the idea of Health Harmony, I focused on ​my needs as a patient with a complex condition, and with additional conditions, namely Diabetes. I was looking for an application that would allow me to do the following:
-
Pull in Medical Records from different healthcare portals
-
Have an accurate list of my medications
-
My Care Team at my fingertips
-
Track how I'm feeling and my medications
Bringing my Vision to Life
It was really important to me that I bring this vision to life. After doing a significant amount of research, I decided to build the application myself with the help of AI using a platform called Replit. It's been an amazing experience and I'm so proud of what I've built! There is still much to do to build the Health Harmony I see in my dreams, and I'm constantly tweaking the User Experience as I get feedback.
I know that this app would help many people, and I have a vision for the continued development of Health Harmony. I want to make it a place where users can manage their whole healthcare experience and take control of their health!
