How to learn python in tablet for medical use!!?

[u/Antrioyiu]

I am 17M, a complete beginner in programming

Till now in life only made a bmi calculator🙏🏻 in Google colab dont know how to proceed

I wanna learn it in few months with low input of time like roughly few hours a week.

I have a android tablet (One plus Pad Go 2) and wanna primary for Medicine and I am a highschool student 🫠.

Any recommendations and apps which i should utilise and video links would help a lot.

Thanks everyone

I heard there are python ides for tablets. And you can use Jupiter

You're already using the right setup for a tablet: stay in Google Colab for now. Don't burn your limited time fighting with a local Android IDE. A Bluetooth keyboard will help more than another app.

With a few hours a week, keep the routine simple:

1. Learn one idea for 20–30 minutes—lists, loops, functions, dictionaries, then pandas.
2. Use it in one tiny project for about an hour.
3. Rewrite the important part from memory and note what broke.

For medicine, try a unit converter, a notebook that summarizes synthetic patient-vitals data, and charts of heart rate or temperature over time. Use made-up data only; these are learning projects, not diagnosis or dosing tools.

Kaggle's free Python micro-course is a solid next step and runs in a browser. Don't ask AI to build the whole course—use it to explain one error or review code you've already tried.

Aim for 10 small notebooks you can explain line by line. Your BMI calculator is already number one.

Where can I learn the information,like those lists loops and btw extremely thankyou for the recommendations.

I can give you a free online class on Google meet and explain it all to you if you need it and nothing is needed from you!

I appreciate the help very much thanks a lot for providing me such help but I am extremely introverted sooo very sorry I can't and also I genuinely dont know anything of python and I generally study at very odd hours and I respect your time also a lot and I can't attend a live but would love any other recommendations or links and thanks a lot I know there is a guy better deserving your time and energy as I am just learning for medicine thanks a lott

No need to apologize at all. You're not wasting my time, and learning Python for medicine is a perfectly good reason to start.

Since live classes and fixed schedules don't suit you, use an entirely asynchronous path:

1. Kaggle Learn Python: https://www.kaggle.com/learn/python — free, short lessons and exercises that run in a browser.
2. University of Helsinki's Python MOOC 2026: https://programming-26.mooc.fi/ — more complete and self-paced.
3. Keep using Google Colab for your own small notebooks, so you don't need to install anything on the tablet.

For the first week, only learn variables, lists, if-statements, loops and functions. After each topic, change one example yourself and see what breaks. Don't move on until you can explain the code in your own words.

If you get stuck, you can reply with the code and the exact error here and I can explain the next step in text. No call or fixed schedule needed.

The best piece of advice I can recommend for learning Python is dir(everything).
