The Challenge
Translating years of clinical research into a workflow nurses could use in an ICU environment.
Mechanically ventilated ICU patients are often unable to traditionally communicate, making it difficult for nurses to assess their needs and provide individualized care. Years of research existed as a complex academic survey that needed to be transformed into a standalone electronic clinical workflow. The challenge was creating an intuitive application that nurses could complete quickly during patient care while generating personalized communication plans. With the end goal being providing education for the nurses so that eventually they can effectively communicate with their patients without even opening the app.
