The big idea
Nurses spend hours on forms and computers. AI can fill in lots of that paperwork so nurses spend more time actually with patients.
Some examples
- AI listens during a visit and writes the notes for the nurse
- AI watches monitors and pings the nurse if a heart rate goes funny
- AI reminds nurses which patient needs which med next
- Hugs, ice chips, and brave words still come from the nurse
Try it!
If you have ever been to the doctor, think about what the nurse did that was kind. AI cannot do those things.
