Handoff — shift notes for nurses
A letter from the founder

I was a charge nurse for nine years. This is the tool I begged for.

Every shift change, the most important information in the hospital — what's actually going on with each patient — got transferred by scribbled paper brain-sheets and hallway sentences. When it went wrong, it went wrong at 7:04 AM, quietly.

Handoff is a structured shift report that fills itself from the chart, then lets you add the part the chart never captures: “family is anxious, dad asks good questions, wound vac is temperamental — jiggle the seal.”

It takes four minutes to give report instead of nineteen. Night shift built it with us; day shift stopped complaining about it, which nurses know is the highest possible praise.

We sell to units, not hospitals, so you can start without a committee. If your manager can approve a $299/month pilot, you can be running by Tuesday.
