A new grad LTC nurse made a medication error due to a lack of patient identification (ID) systems, causing psychological distress and career anxiety.
The long-term care facility lacks a patient identification system (ID), leading to medication errors. No existing solutions are mentioned; the reliance on manual identification without barcodes or photo IDs is insufficient.

MedID Guardian
A mobile and wearable patient identification system for long-term care facilities. It uses barcode or RFID wristbands and a companion app to scan and verify patient identity before medication administration, preventing errors like giving meds to the wrong resident. Integrates with electronic health records for real-time medication checks.
Key Features
- Barcode/RFID wristband scanning with instant patient verification
- Real-time medication administration alerts and dosage confirmation
- Integration with existing EHR/medication records
- Offline-capable mobile app for facilities with unreliable internet
Target Users: Long-term care nurses and facility administrators in small to medium-sized LTC homes without existing identification systems
Revenue Model: Freemium with $99/mo per facility for unlimited users, plus hardware wristbands sold in bulk
