Civic AI and access transparency

Lagun is a concrete implementation of Audrey Tang's six Care Forces in one care domain — showing what consented handoff and patient-visible access look like in practice.

Awareness (覺察): Lagun focuses attention on what the patient, family, and companion must notice in the five minutes that matter most.

Responsibility (負責): Diagnosis and clinical observation are kept outside the product boundary by design — not as a disclaimer, but as a code constraint.

Competence (勝任): Good intentions need working code. Lagun's event-based ESP32 pipeline and non-diagnostic boundary are competence, not just ethics.

Responsiveness (回應): The system can be corrected. Patients can revoke data sharing. Companions receive only what they need for that appointment.

Solidarity (團結): Lagun is built from lived companion experience — the design reflects what people closest to the problem actually notice.

Coexistence (共生): Data access is visible and revocable. Lagun does not expand its scope unboundedly. The patient can always see who accessed their record.

Care principles in practice

A campfire is not about making everyone the same. It is about letting different people safely gather around the same question.
