Nursing shift handoffs focus on deficits and risks but rarely include information about patient capabilities and autonomy, leading to missed opportunities for patient independence.
Standard handoff templates and EHRs emphasize problems, risks, and changes, but lack a dedicated, concise field for noting what patients can do independently, so this positive information is often omitted.

- Integration with major EHR/handoff systems via API or HL7 FHIR
- AI summarization of shift notes to auto-suggest capabilities
- Printable handoff summary with capability section highlighted
Target Users: Bedside nurses and charge nurses in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and long-term care settings (unit size 10-50 nurses per shift)
Revenue Model: $10 per user per month SaaS subscription, with enterprise licensing for health systems
