What I learned building software for clinics

The first thing clinic software teaches you is that the real users are busy. A doctor between patients has about ten seconds of patience for any screen. If it takes more than a couple of taps, it won't be used.

So I stopped listing features and started watching a day in the clinic: who books, who waits, who pays, who needs yesterday's file. Every screen should answer one of those moments, nothing else.

Arabic-first design isn't a translation either. Right-to-left layouts, local date habits and WhatsApp reminders matter more than an extra report nobody opens.
