Why I built Meyshan Med

I didn't build Meyshan Med because I love technology. I built it because I was drowning politely.

Fourth year of MBBS looks manageable from the outside. From the inside it's a stack of chapters that grows faster than you can read, lectures that assume you remember second year perfectly, and that specific 11 p.m. feeling of reading the same paragraph on heart murmurs for the fourth time and understanding it less each time.

That murmur night was the actual beginning.

Here's what I eventually realised: my problem was never murmurs. I could recite the murmurs. My problem was two floors below — pressure gradients and valve timing, things I'd "covered" in second year and quietly lost. Every summary app I tried kept summarising the top floor. Nobody was checking the foundation.

So I asked my father a question that changed my year: instead of another summary tool, could we build something that finds the exact missing brick? He builds things with AI for a living. I know what a medical student's brain feels like at midnight. We started building together — me as the medical conscience, him as the engineer, and my sun conure Mitski supervising from the lamp (she is real, and she gets her own post).

Meyshan Med is the result. You upload the chapter that defeated you, tell it what confused you, and it doesn't summarise — it diagnoses. It builds a map of what you actually know, colours the gaps red, and teaches the missing prerequisite first. Then it makes you explain the concept back — once like an examiner is listening, once like a worried patient is. Then it schedules the forgetting before your brain does.

Every explanation shows its sources. Every AI sentence is labelled by how grounded it is. And when the system isn't sure, it says "medical review required" instead of pretending.

What it hasn't fixed: the sitting down. No system opens the book for you — that part is still, always, me.

I'm a student, not a company. My exam is on December 31 — I'll be documenting the whole preparation on this blog, using the tool I built, in public, results included. If it works, you'll see it. If it doesn't, you'll see that too.

That's the deal.
