A new grad nurse on a neuro intermediate unit lacks effective communication strategies and training to de-escalate angry, delirious patients without personalizing their outbursts.

No structured training or real-time tool for nurses to handle aggressive or delirious patient interactions, leading to emotional distress and potential escalation.

App Concept

NeuroNurse De-escalation Guide

A mobile app providing evidence-based scripts, de-escalation techniques, and real-time coaching for nurses handling delirious or aggressive neuro patients. It replaces haphazard on-the-job learning with structured, role-specific guidance.

Key Features

Curated script library for common outburst scenarios (e.g., PICC change refusal, morning awakening aggression)
Quick-reference de-escalation ladder based on patient cognitive status
Voice-activated real-time prompts (via earpiece) using AI to suggest response based on patient's words
Personalized post-interaction reflection log to track patterns and improve skills

Target Users: New grad nurses and float staff on neuro intermediate units in hospitals (500+ beds) across the US, particularly those without dedicated psychiatric liaison support.

Revenue Model: $9.99/mo per user subscription with hospital group discounts starting at $5.99/mo per 50+ licenses
