Probably not for me – I don't think I'd pay, I just don't get sick enough / worry enough. I could imagine for a hypercondriac or someone who wants that piece of mind.
The idea of someone (or ai) knowing me and having my records does sound valuable, especially if it could be added to / stored safely.
One thing I have noticed, more often around guys is an attitude to just put off going to the doctors, or just forgetting. I guess because the friction is high, possibly an embarrassing situation. If you can lower the friction and triage (maybe human assisted) or lay out the steps of what to do next I could imagine that would be useful. e.g catching a cancerous mole early, that because its easy for you to ask, you do and then the tool smooths the process to getting checked out (explanation + organisation / booking).
Does that help?
Yeah I'd go via whatever my insurance recommend, as a nomad I use safetywing.com. When searching its mostly based around reviews and that they speak English.
More recent I've been checking in with ChatGPT (GPT-4) and using that to sense check my decision / reaction to what I should do.
e.g I think we were potentially over using hydrogen peroxide to clean a wound a few days after it happened where just saline solution would have been much better. ChatGPT caught that after being given it by a pharmacist and we just assumed how to use it.
Thanks, and this is what I was doing too--the answers are pretty good, but because it makes mistakes sometimes, I wanted to build in a way for a doctor to supervise somehow at minimal time/cost to everyone involved.
Would a supervised version of a gpt-4 by a real doctor ever be something that you'd pay for? Negative feedback would be super helpful if not.
I think I'd pay for medical verification of some of the information if it were from a small independent medical provider that didn't just grind me through their system--and that I could develop a history with so they knew when my last tetanus shot was when I crash my motorcycle in Zanzibar, etc. But I could automate most of my medical questions that didn't require a visit.

I do iOS / Swift development 📱 – can't think of a bootcamp!
I recommend breaking up your learning into areas:
- Programming (core concepts e.g functions, loops, if else...)
- Language (specific features e.g struct in Swift...)
- Framework (the tools built on top e.g SwiftUI for iOS apps...)
- App Development (process of joining the parts, e.g architectures...)
I've collected some resources here (lil old but still relevant):
mattspear.co/resources/ios
Would highlight:
- Stanford iOS Course
- A Best-in-Class iOS App by Jordan Morgan
- 100 days of Swift / Swift UI
- Apple's Introducing SwiftUI tutorial
Would be great to hear how you get on, which route you take to learn!
Feel free to drop me a message if you run into any problems 🚀
Amazing! Thanks Matt! Will have a look. Functions, loops is no problem for me. I have done plenty of PHP stuff over the years and been "hacking" since the 90's. Swift is new though. Whats the best way to DM you if I have questions? X?
Ahh yeah I just pulled that list from some of my mentoring work, I did think of a Swift specific resource that might be good though: learnxinyminutes.com/docs/swi… this site helps you pick up new languages quickly with a single file from simple to complex concepts including language feature 🚀
I don't check X messages so much / get quite a bit of spam – I've got telegram on my profile might be better!
Ha! Well would you look at that mattspear.co/blog/wins. Love what you wrote Matt. Thats what I'm working on: littlewinsapp.com.
Yeah super cool, I built makeprogress.app and had a tiny wins app on the backburner and love the process of on a monthly basis checking up on my wins, sharing them and encouraging others to do the same!
I just tried your app.. LOVE it! So neat the idea of specificying a KPI at the start of a goal. That's neat. Feature request: allow me to setup multiple KPIs (small wins) for every goal
Bug? When I update a progress item and click update, I see code
Ohh I'll take a look, not actively worked on the app in quite a while 😱
Ahh yeah the JSON view? on the url: makeprogress.app/updates/<id>
That's just the update page I never built out!
I believe so yes. Just sent you a screenshot on email.
