Implied Software Gaps

A real-time patient flow tracking tool that eliminates manual whiteboard updates and mental tracking of multiple patient statuses.

App Concept

PACUflow

PACUflow is a mobile app that gives PACU nurses a real-time, visual dashboard of all patient statuses—pre-op, in-surgery, recovery, ready for discharge, or transfer—replacing manual whiteboards and mental tracking. It reduces mental load and helps prioritize tasks, so nurses can manage the chaos of a busy PACU with confidence.

Key Features

Real-time bed and patient status tracking
Automated task checklists for admissions, discharges, and transfers
Smart alerts for critical events (e.g., patient ready for discharge, vitals out of range)
Integrated communication with OR and floor teams

Target Users: PACU nurses in busy hospitals who manage multiple patient transitions simultaneously.

Revenue Model: SaaS subscription per hospital unit (e.g., $99/month per 10 beds), with optional premium features like predictive analytics.
