A nurse with inattentive ADHD struggles to remember tasks and hold multiple patient requests in mind, relying on manual workarounds like Apple Watch reminders and notes.

Existing solutions like personal smartwatch reminders are generic and not integrated with clinical workflow or patient task handoffs; they lack context and prioritization for multiple patients.

uses Apple Watch reminders to remember tasks
double checks everything and goes slower to compensate
relies on Apple Watch timers and notes

App Concept

NurseFlow

NurseFlow is a clinical task management app designed specifically for shift-working nurses with ADHD. It captures patient requests via quick voice or text input, automatically prioritizes tasks by urgency and patient acuity, and surfaces time-sensitive reminders through smartwatch integration. Unlike generic reminder apps, it provides a single, prioritized view of tasks across all assigned patients, reducing cognitive load and preventing missed care.

Key Features

Voice-input task capture for hands-free logging of patient requests
Smart prioritization engine: urgent tasks (e.g., pain meds) ranked above routine ones
Apple Watch companion with haptic reminders per task, not generic timers
Shift handoff report: auto-generates a summary of pending tasks for next nurse

Target Users: Shift-working hospital nurses, especially those managing 4+ patients in fast-paced settings (e.g., med-surg, ER, ICU) in hospitals or clinics with 50+ beds

Revenue Model: $19.99/mo per nurse subscription (individual) or $499/mo per hospital unit (up to 30 nurses)
