Vibe coding helps man to create AI tool for finding medical errors in his mother’s cancer treatment, shares his experience
How helpful is vibe coding? For a 34-year-old man, it helped him detect errors in his mother’s cancer treatment and better manage it. He built a custom AI platform that helped manage his mother’s advanced cancer care, tracked symptoms, analysed medical records, and caught errors in her treatment plan.
Pratik Desai, a New Jersey-based professional with no formal background in advanced software engineering, created the tool while caring for his mother, who was diagnosed with stage 4 duodenal adenocarcinoma — an aggressive cancer affecting the small intestine. Using simple natural language prompts with AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude, Desai “vibe-coded” the platform in plain English, describing what he needed without writing complex code from scratch.
