HealthcareStaffing & Scheduling4HighPhysical Therapist$ implied
Physical therapist is forced to see 3 patients per hour with insufficient time for therapeutic exercise, leading to clinician burnout and reduced quality of care.
Existing scheduling tools don't enforce or support evidence-based 1:1 patient care ratios; they prioritize volume over quality and clinician well-being.

- Real-time alerts when patient load exceeds safe limits
- Workload tracking dashboard for clinicians and managers
- Integration with EHR to auto-populate treatment notes
Target Users: Clinic managers and physical therapists in outpatient rehabilitation clinics (small to medium size, 1-20 clinicians)
Revenue Model: $99/mo per clinic (flat fee) with $2 per patient visit above ratio limit
