{"id":78529,"title":"🏥 Kabilah - Simplifying patient handoff for inpatient nurses","tagline":"We help nurses improve patient outcomes.","body":"❌ **Problem: The Impossible Task of Patient Handoff**\n\nPicture this - you are an inpatient bedside nurse starting your shift, entrusted with the care of five patients due to commonplace staffing shortages. As you get a rapid-fire handoff from the previous nurse, you jot down critical information for each patient on a **paper report sheet**. Throughout your shift, you’re continually juggling urgent patient care demands, reading and updating your scribbled notes, attempting to communicate with inundated physicians, and charting/navigating data-dense notes within the EHR system. By the end of your shift, it is **impossible to communicate** all of the pertinent information about each patient in a rapid-fire handoff.\n\nThis perpetual cycle leads to increased medical **errors**, increased patient **length of stay**, and redundant inter-clinician **messaging**.\n\n**✅ Solution: Intelligent Patient Advocates**\n\nWe **automate and simplify** shift change by replacing paper report sheets with an AI-powered advocate for each patient.\n\nEach Patient Advocate is a digital report sheet with:\n\n1. Customizable Components - only display **pertinent information** about the current patient (optionally auto-filled from the EHR)\n2. Standardized Communication - intelligently summarize report sheet components and **send** them to the next nurse\n3. Simplified EHR Data - **auto generate** patient medical histories/hospital courses and **interactively chat** with patient EHR data\n\n(Please reach out to [founders@kabilah.com](mailto:founders@kabilah.com) for a demo!)\n\n**🏆 Founding Team**\n\nWe are Sarah \u0026 Umar!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=78529\u0026key=user_uploads/1382386/5618e163-cc96-43b6-ab53-1f181188451f)\n\n[Sarah](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sraza007/) - Stanford MS/BS in Computer Science (AI), 2022 Mayfield Fellow, second hire at EngFlow, previously founded nationwide nonprofit organization AWARE.\n\n[Umar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mumarnadeem/) - Recent cancer survivor :) Stanford BS in Computer Science (AI), MS in Management Science \u0026 Engineering, and 2023 Mayfield Fellow.\n\n**👋🏼 Our Ask**\n\nWe're signing on our next two healthcare systems.
