App Concept
HandoffReady
A mobile and desktop app that streamlines nursing shift handoffs by allowing outgoing nurses to signal when they are ready for report, and incoming nurses to see status and queue. It reduces idle time and improves communication.
Key Features
- Real-time status updates (Ready for Report, In Report, Busy)
- Message templates for common report needs
- Queue management for multiple incoming nurses
- Integration with EHR to auto-populate patient summaries
Target Users: Hospital nurses, especially those in med-surg and ICU units
Revenue Model: $5/user/month subscription for hospitals
