#Contest

Frontend development can be a daunting, even nightmarish, task for backend-focused developers. Early in my career, the lines between frontend and backend were blurred, and everyone was expected to handle both. CSS, in particular, was a constant struggle; it felt like an impossible mission.

Although I enjoy frontend work, CSS remains a complex challenge for me, especially since I learned it through trial and error. The meme of Peter Griffin struggling to open blinds perfectly captures my experience of learning CSS.

But today, everything changes.

Current triage systems often rely on the experience of admitting physicians. This can lead to delays in care for some patients, especially when faced with inexperienced residents or non-critical symptoms. Additionally, it can result in unnecessary hospital admissions, straining resources and increasing healthcare costs.

We focused our project on pregnant women and conducted a survey with friends of ours who work at a large hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, specifically in the area of monitoring and caring for pregnant women.

Hi Developers,

We have exciting news! The new InterSystems online programming contest dedicated to all things health-related will start very soon!

Hi Community,

Thank you for participating in our recent mini-contest! We received many great ideas, and we hope you enjoyed the process.

The mastermind of the winning concept will receive 5,000 points, while the astute "investors" in said concept will receive 200 points each.

The Winning Concept: Senior people loneliness

 Loneliness experiences by older people and lack of conversations can negatively impact their mental well-being, concerning their families about difficulties in being able to ask for help on their own.

A few months ago, I faced a significant challenge: streamlining the handling of business logic in our application. My goal was to extract the business logic from the code and hand it over to analysts. Dealing with a multitude of rules could easily result in a code littered with countless "if" statements, especially if the coder lacked an understanding of cyclomatic complexity. Such code becomes a source of pain for those working with it—difficult to write, test, and develop.
