Don’t downplay your position. You might be behind in technical knowledge compared to people in this community but you are in an excellent plance otherwise:

- You have identified a real life problem.

- You are a domain expert.

- You can iterate and test your solutions quickly in a real world environment.

- you are making sane technical choices: keep it simple, use what your user want, use what works.

- you are patient.

- most importantly, your motivation is deeply rooted in yourself.

I share your frustration with change resistance and insane level of complexity in the health care industry, it’s not just nursing. But if you can show people that you are improving their life, they won’t look back. Proof by the demo is what works.

Keep up the good work, keep being patient and change will happen.
