HealthcareStaffing & Scheduling4HighNurse$ implied
Nurses on rotating rosters lack a systematic way to plan sleep, caffeine, and light exposure around their shifts, leading to fatigue and difficulty adjusting.
Current methods are ad-hoc and not integrated with roster information; generic sleep apps don't account for rotating shift patterns.

App Concept
ShiftSleeper
ShiftSleeper is a mobile app that turns a photo of a nurse's roster into a personalized sleep and alertness plan. It uses circadian science to recommend sleep times, naps, caffeine cutoffs, and light exposure for each shift transition. The app syncs with wearables to adapt recommendations and provides a wind-down voice note feature to help nurses mentally offload after work.
Key Features
- Roster photo import with OCR to parse shifts
- Personalized sleep plan with naps, caffeine cutoff, and light exposure guidance
- Shareable sleeping status for family and housemates
- Voice note wind-down journal for post-shift mental offloading
- Wearable integration to adjust plans based on actual sleep data
Target Users: Nurses and other rotating shift workers in hospitals and healthcare facilities, especially those with varied schedules and quick turnarounds.
Revenue Model: Freemium with basic plan free, premium subscription at $4.99/month for advanced features like wearable integration and family sharing.
