Produced an EHR system from scratch for Taiba Medical Centre.

• Volunteered at Taiba Medical Centre which, in partnership with the NGOs Bela Risu Foundation and Operation Blessing, works in several countries in Africa and offering surgeries on craniofacial deformities to people with no or limited access to health care.
• Replaced clinics dated paper filing system with an EHR from scratch using Python, Java Script, CSS and HTML as well as open-source SQL databases on a Django framework to develop and demonstrate a health record system.
• Integrated novelle system architecture independent to existing EHRs such that the clinic had full rights and access to the system.
• Worked with the clinic and medical students to tailor the program to their existing methods and provide the field knowledge that was lacking.
• Used log files to construct a formal report of errors to constantly update and improve the system alongside user feedback.
