A mobile app that automatically tracks a PRN nurse's last worked shift and delivers a personalized, bite-sized recap of all unit protocol updates, new equipment, and guideline changes specific to what they missed. It leverages unit-wide change logs and AI to generate a quick 5-minute refresher before each shift, reducing orientation time and improving safety.

Key Features

Automated detection of protocol changes since last shift
Personalized, 5-minute video/text refresher modules
Integration with hospital EMR and equipment databases
Comprehension quiz with pass/fail before shift start

Target Users: Healthcare systems and hospital units (especially ICU/ED) that employ PRN nurses in acute care settings

Revenue Model: $15/mo per active PRN nurse (hospital pays), or $2,000/year per unit site license
