contra view to these comments: keep going. I worked in health information privacy and security longer than all of them and the number of sincere people in it is diminishingly small. the field has become infested with gatekeeper nerds and petty bureaucrats who insist you pay their toll to proceed, or demoralized and cynical opportunists who just go along to get along.
sure, there are risks, but take them. make a thing for people who take care of other people. this is for a woman who takes care of her husband with alzheimers, or a man who takes care of his wife with parkinsons. fuck the system. make something someone wants.
good luck.

What a claim to make.
"Keep going" is great advice, but what we're looking at here isn't ready for primetime by any stretch.
I could use your experience. Would you be willing to chat offline?
> fuck the system
This app is the system, with a "trust me bro" approach to privacy and security.
Its creator is probably well intentioned, but this is likely to result in bad things for its users.
Thank you. You get it.
