Why this audience deserves a dedicated workflow

CampusPin is most useful when the workflow respects the real constraint: managing a chronic condition while navigating college logistics. That constraint shapes every filter, profile read, and pin.

The core lens is accessible health services and academic flexibility. A search that ignores it will still produce schools, but the list tends to collapse under real-life tradeoffs later.
