Nurses face interruptions from non-clinical tasks and predictable events during peak times, causing delays and safety risks. There's no tool to dynamically adjust nurse schedules and task assignments based on real-time conditions and proactive alerts.
“Nurses are forced to perform incomplete patient intake and charting when critically ill patients arrive right before shift change, due to rigid time constraints and conflicting unit policies.”
“New graduate nurse overwhelmed by competing tasks, leading to delayed discharges, upset patients, and inability to stay on top of clinical understanding.”
Nurses need a way to independently verify IV infusion rate changes and receive alerts for time-sensitive antibiotics. Current systems miss real-time verification and fail to adapt to dynamic orders.
“ICU nurses risk medication errors when residual IV lines and pumps from previous procedures cause unintended drug administration due to lack of visibility into active infusions.”
“Nurses lack real-time, independent verification of high-risk IV infusion rate changes, leading to medication errors.”
A tool to dynamically adjust nurse-to-patient ratios based on real-time patient acuity, preventing unsafe assignments and staff theft across units.
“Nurse scheduling is complex due to working hours, FTE, units, day/night shifts, and no clear guidance on what a flawless schedule looks like.”
“Emergency department struggles to retain nurses due to inability to transition from rotating/night shifts to preferred schedules, causing high turnover.”
A platform that helps bedside nurses transition to non-bedside clinical roles by providing personalized career exploration, job matching, and mentorship.
“New RN burned out from bedside nursing due to physical labor, verbal abuse, night shifts, and lack of career alternatives.”
“New graduate nurse struggling with high-acuity, understaffed hospital environments causing burnout and career uncertainty.”
An app enabling nurses to document at the bedside via voice or mobile input, reducing end-of-shift reconstruction and errors.
“Nurses fear that AI-powered charting will introduce inaccurate content that requires extensive manual correction, undermining trust in the system.”
“Med-surg nurses feel overwhelmed by the documentation burden and inability to review or correct charting errors after shift, causing anxiety and fear of litigation.”
Nurses need predictable schedules to balance work and life, while clinics waste time manually booking follow-ups. An app that combines nurse self-scheduling with patient self-booking solves both pain points.
“Night-shift nurses struggle to plan optimal sleep schedules around rotating shifts and personal obligations, relying on guesswork and stimulants.”
“A pro-bono outpatient clinic lacks an EMR with integrated scheduling, relying on manual calendars and spreadsheets to manage patient appointments.”
Nurses in long-term acute care hospitals are assigned unsafe patient ratios that do not account for acuity, leading to burnout and inability to complete necessary care tasks.
Vestibular therapists are undertrained in diagnosing and treating horizontal canal BPPV, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment.
A pediatric home health nurse with one year of experience cannot transition to hospital bedside nursing due to lack of hospital residency and experience requirements.
Need a back brace that supports healing rhomboid and middle trapezius muscles, with guidance on selection and use, as professional PT is no longer covered by insurance.
A nursing home staff member is unable to get physicians to order necessary diagnostic tests (urinalysis) for a patient who shows clear signs of a recurrent UTI, despite staff consensus, putting the patient at risk.
New grad nurse needs a reliable car with 4WD to safely commute to work in snowy conditions, but doesn't know which vehicle model to choose.
IR nurses and radiology doctors lack a standardized algorithm or decision support tool to determine whether critically ill patients (e.g., requiring fluid resuscitation, blood, or pressors) are stable enough for procedural sedation, and to guide pediatric dosing for sedation drugs.
Nurses are constantly interrupted by other healthcare professionals asking questions they could answer themselves by observing the patient or reading the chart.
Inconsistent and infrequent documentation of treatment details in a PT clinic, leading to gaps in patient progress tracking and potential fraud concerns.
Nurses are uncertain about the interpretation of PRN medication instructions '2x/day' vs. 'q12h' and lack a standardized reference.
Pediatric nurses lack access to bottle sterilizers in hospitals, relying on hand-washing bottles with soap and water instead of proper sanitization.
Nurses lack an efficient, integrated tool for collecting and analyzing patient data for quality improvement projects and small studies in clinical settings.
Physical therapists lack a purpose-built tool for collecting and tracking patient outcomes data in a clinical setting, relying on generic or research-oriented solutions.
Nurses in long-term care facilities risk medication errors and double dosing due to overlapping narcotic orders and a manual, paper-based narcotic tracking system that is not integrated with the electronic medication administration record.
Nurses lack real-time notification and escalation for critical blood pressure values, leading to delayed intervention and potential adverse outcomes.
Healthcare workers in non-dermatology settings see suspicious skin lesions during assessments but lack protocols or tools to document or communicate findings to patients or specialists.
Nurses suffer from damaged nails and difficulty manually opening blister pill packages, lacking a convenient, multi-type pill package opener.
Nurses need a discreet, non-awkward way to count a patient's respiratory rate without physical contact or obvious staring.
Nurses are being contacted by managers while off work, including during vacation or leave, to perform work tasks without compensation, and they lack a clear way to enforce boundaries.
Travel OR nurses face inconsistent protocols, instrument naming, and emergency setup across hospitals, with no universal standards or enforcement, leading to frustration and inefficiency.
