In numerology, the number 7 is often regarded as the seeker, the thinker, and the searcher of truth. It’s no coincidence that we, a group of seven visionaries, chose this path, united under a shared goal to revolutionize healthcare. The “Magnificent Seven,” as we fondly call ourselves, have embarked on a journey where technology is our compass, innovation our vehicle, and a healthier future our destination. Driven by a collective desire to make healthcare more efficient, accessible, and patient-centric, our team relentlessly explores cutting-edge solutions.
This morning, with the echoes of breakfast laughter still lingering and the sound of lovely children’s voices calling out greetings, Team AISHA climbed into the back of the World Hope International vehicle. Our daily commute to the office had become a cherished routine, but today was destined to be special. As we made our way, Aabi and Omar found themselves drawn to a motorcyclist riding at our pace and close to the vehicle’s right side. In a spontaneous and thrilling moment, they exchanged a fistbump, fulfilling a whimsical dream that Zavier had once expressed, symbolizing the adventurous spirit of our journey. The 10-minute ride, charged with excitement and camaraderie, ended with our arrival at the World Hope International office. Finding it closed on this tranquil Sunday, we waited for half an hour, basking in the joy of unexpected connections and reflecting on a ride that had turned into so much more.
While waiting for Pemba to retrieve the keys to our workplace, the soft harmonies from a nearby church piqued our curiosity, luring us toward its doors. Inside, Aabi experienced his first visit to a church, a moment met with generous smiles and open arms from the congregants. Though their kindness beckoned us to stay, time constraints whispered a polite refusal, nudging us back to our mission.
By 11, the keys were in hand and our workday commenced, marked by both triumph and trial. Omar, Aabi, and Rachel (our trio known as OAR) were poised to head to two PHUs for a demonstration but were held back by unexpected coding issues. Frustration was tangible, but it was met with relentless determination. Omar and Zavier hunkered down to mend the code, while Elif and Eric sculpted a now-stunning website. Rachel’s day was a digital odyssey, navigating the internet to craft a comprehensive datasheet on Nutrients and Medications—a demanding but vital task.
Aabi, meanwhile, shifted focus to secure another facet of the project, enhancing stability and control over the backend of the Alexa Skills we’re developing. Amidst the buzz of technological pursuits, Sofía’s journey led her to the compassionate realm of Makama, where she engaged with Sister Mabinty, uncovering insights into Nutrition and the care of children under five.
In this symphony of tasks and talents, frustrations were merely preludes to victories, and time’s constraints were met with creativity’s boundless reach. It was a day that mirrored the dynamic spirit of Team AISHA—a testament to innovation, collaboration, and relentless pursuit of excellence. I hope this captures your day well. If there are any specific points you’d like me to emphasize or revise, please let me know!
As the clock struck 4, Sofía returned, her presence signaling a shift in the day. Meanwhile, the room hummed with the sound of progress. Omar’s relentless dedication bore fruit as he breathed life into a new feature called Audio Diaries, a testament to persistence and innovation. Zavier, too, found triumph, transforming a challenging program into a faster, more efficient marvel. The victories were sweet, but the day had slipped by, making it too late for the planned PHU demonstrations. With a collective understanding of the rhythms of innovation, we rescheduled for the next day, knowing that success often requires both tenacity and flexibility. The day’s end found us wearied but invigorated, standing at the intersection of accomplishment and anticipation, ready to take on the next phase of our journey.
The synergy of our diverse skillsets creates a robust framework that’s as dynamic and multi-dimensional as the number 7 itself. In this blog, we invite you to join us as we delve into our projects, share our insights, and explore how technology is not just reshaping healthcare but redefining it.
Stay tuned as we unfold the story of the “Magnificent Seven” – seven minds, one mission, endless possibilities.
