Israeli Tech Manager Builds AI App to Coordinate Hospital Visits During Crisis
Facing endless update requests during his father's cancer surgery, a Ramat Gan tech manager used AI vibe coding to build "Ma Shalom Asher?", an app coordinating hospital visits and updates.
Facing a barrage of frantic phone calls and complex logistical hurdles during his father's critical cancer surgery and hospitalization, a Ramat Gan tech manager leveraged artificial intelligence to build a bespoke family coordination platform in under an hour.
Aviv Segron, a 30-year-old fintech marketing professional, found himself overwhelmed when his father was diagnosed with a complex bile duct tumor in April, requiring emergency surgery following weeks of medical uncertainty. The diagnosis struck just weeks after Segron's mother successfully completed her own cancer treatments. As a member of an expansive family—including three brothers, ten siblings, and dozens of relatives, friends, and colleagues—Segron's phone was constantly flooded with inquiries regarding his father’s condition, alongside the exhausting challenge of coordinating hospital bedside visits.
Developing an AI-Powered Solution
Recognizing that copying and pasting the same updates dozens of times was unsustainable, Segron decided to use generative AI tools to engineer a streamlined web interface. Employing the "vibe coding" methodology on the Lovable platform, he designed a clean, distraction-free application named "Ma Shalom Asher?" (How is Asher?) in less than 60 minutes.
The platform was strategically partitioned into two distinct tiers to respect privacy while keeping supporters informed. The secure, password-protected close family zone featured granular medical updates—tracking daily metrics such as steps walked, food consumed, and post-surgery recovery goals—alongside an interactive visitor scheduling calendar to ensure continuous bedside presence without overcrowding.
Transparency and Community Impact
A secondary public zone provided wider circles of friends and colleagues with general status reports, recovery roadmaps, and facility relocation updates, accounting for security shifts to protected spaces during regional tensions. The system instantly alleviated communication bottlenecks, allowing distant relatives to seamlessly sign up for visits without feeling intrusive.
Following a successful recovery, Segron's father has since returned home. While emphasizing that the interface is not a commercial startup, Segron recently published the project's open-source code on LinkedIn to offer the tool free of charge to others navigating similar medical crises.
