HealthcareOperational Problem3MediumPhysical Therapist$ implied

Physical therapists at an outpatient clinic are forced to perform janitorial duties (trash, bathrooms, vacuuming, front entry) and laundry on top of patient care, because the clinic refuses to pay for a cleaning crew.

The clinic relies on clinical staff to do non-clinical cleaning and laundry work instead of hiring a dedicated cleaning crew or outsourcing cleaning services, wasting therapist time and reducing patient care capacity.

Real-time task tracking and completion verification
Automated reminders and escalation for overdue cleaning tasks
Analytics to justify hiring cleaning crew vs. using clinical staff

Target Users: Clinic managers and practice owners in outpatient physical therapy, chiropractic, or other healthcare clinics with 3-20 providers that currently use clinical staff for cleaning

Revenue Model: $49/mo per clinic (up to 10 staff) + $4/mo per additional staff; premium tier at $99/mo with cleaning crew integration module
