Engineering as a creative process with social impact

When starting a new project, especially one with social impact, the key question is: Why are we building this? What problem are we solving? Innovation is exciting, but if technology doesn’t serve a real need, it loses its value.

In healthcare, this question becomes even more critical. We’re not just building software—we’re creating tools that impact patients, doctors, and families. Access to medical data, accurate diagnoses, and seamless collaboration depend on the systems we develop.

What keeps us motivated? The human impact. Knowing that what we build helps a patient receive the right treatment or enables a doctor to make a faster, life-saving decision gives engineering a deeper meaning.

When this impact becomes personal—affecting you or a loved one—it’s even more powerful. Engineering isn’t just technical; it’s a creative process that drives meaningful change. It’s about solving real problems that truly matter.
