App Concept

HandoverFlow

HandoverFlow is a structured digital handover platform for ICU and hospital nurses that enforces a sequential report process, prevents interruptions, and logs completed handovers. It ensures the outgoing nurse delivers their full report without disruption, then opens for questions afterward, reducing errors and frustration.

Key Features

Step-by-step guided handover template customizable per unit (e.g., ICU)
Locked report mode: incoming user cannot scroll, click, or type until outgoing nurse completes and releases control
Optional voice recording of handover with automatic transcription
Post-handover Q&A mode where incoming nurse can ask questions in a chat or voice channel

Target Users: Charge nurses and floor nurses in hospital ICUs and high-acuity units, especially in facilities with multiple shift handovers per day

Revenue Model: $15/mo per nurse subscription, hospital bulk pricing at $5/mo per nurse for 50+ licenses
