Nurses are critical to patient care, and they are in short supply at the moment. I've been thinking about ways to automate the administrative aspects of nursing.
Nurses spend a lot of time (~35% of their day according to some studies) interacting with the electronic health record (EHR). Often, they are inputting structured data like vital signs, medication given, etc.
Could we use a mobile app to parse voice transcription data and upload notes to the EHR to save nurses a bit of time? Maybe just a modern graphic interface on a mobile app would help?
I made a working demo of the voice transcription idea you can try.
If you work in the healthcare space, and know someone who might be interested - I'd love to chat. I'm looking to partner with healthcare institutions to 'co-develop' the app: they can bring the user feedback; we'll bring the code.
