HealthcareClinical Decision Support2MildNurse
Nurses lack a clear, unambiguous system to interpret and apply heparin titration protocols, leading to confusion about when to draw the next PTT.
Existing heparin protocols are text-based and require manual interpretation, leaving room for conflicting understandings about the timing of next draws (e.g., whether 'daily' means morning or same time as last draw).

Workarounds Described
- Nurses manually interpret text-based heparin protocol to decide next draw timing
- Verbal shift change communication to relay draw schedule
Implied Software Gaps
- Automated heparin protocol engine that translates lab results into exact draw times
- Structured handoff tool to document and verify upcoming lab draws
App Concept
HeparinProtocol Navigator
A clinical decision support app that converts heparin titration protocols into clear, step-by-step instructions with exact date/time for next PTT draws. It eliminates ambiguity by interpreting protocol rules automatically based on recent results, ensuring consistent application across shifts.
Key Features
- Protocol interpretation engine that calculates exact next draw time from lab results
- Visual timeline of PTT results and upcoming draws
- Shift handoff integration to communicate plan to next nurse
- Alerts for protocol deviations or overdue draws
Target Users: Hospital nurses and ICU staff managing heparin infusions
Revenue Model: $15/mo per user subscription for hospital teams
