this would be enough to make a decent MVP (basically, just the really essential features for a minimally complete software for a small hospital).

It’ll definitely cost more if this thing works

I've iterated, and right now, I’m focusing only on the ER (emergency room) (since that’s where I spotted the problem). In the future, I plan to scale this to the rest of the areas of the hospital, but first, I need to sell the product to a small hospital that still isn’t using electronic medical records, and to solve the problem only in the ER

what do u mean "pre-sell" it ? Sell the idea first ? I don't think this would work cuz i'd say the hospitals (even a small one) wouldn't be willing to pay for something that's not ready yet

what do u think ?

If the idea is solid, and actually saves time or money or lives they would be more than willing to help you out in many ways (not just the promise of future money).

If the idea/product is just nice to have, or marginally makes it easier for some employees to do their job, you will be fighting an uphill battle that not be worth your effort or money or time.

Without knowing more, I’d advise you to stop spending money on development and try to find a customer. The critical part of this project is not your software but the willingness of small hospitals to pay for your product. Maybe they would sign a letter of intent? Perhaps they would bankroll further development if you sell it as a custom software project. You don’t need a fully functional app before you can sell it. I’ve sold things when all I had was a Figma wireframe.
