It was great working with Stanley! He would offer to take on more tasks and reach out to ask for clarifications whenever needed. He came in with a curious attitude and was willing to learn new things. When faced with challenges, he was calm and took the time to troubleshoot things. I would recommend him to employers who are looking for someone who is calm and has critical thinking skills.

Develop a website for Clubfoot Navigator Ltd

Clubfoot is a congenital foot deformity that occurs in 1:1000 children. Dr Ponseti developed a non-surgical method of treatment that has been shown to have superior results to surgical treatment by maintaining foot flexibility and decreasing pain and disability in adults born with clubfoot. Since 2000 the Ponseti method has become the gold standard of treatment for children with clubfeet. Ponseti Clubfoot Navigator (PCN) is an app that was developed to provide guidance for clinicians who treat children with clubfeet with the Ponseti treatment. PCN is an electronic medical record that uses embedded algorithms and artificial intelligence to recommend correct decisions according to the Ponseti International Association guidelines. We would like to develop a website for Clubfoot Navigator to provide information on the app, to provide links to literature and presentations on the app, and to provide information on the most up to date treatment.
