Our Solution
Nurse Watch is a wearable solution for the problems faced by nurses taking care of multiple patients on a day-to-day basis. The watch is lightweight and doesn’t get in the way, but allows nurses to communicate easily with one another in the case of an emergency, as well as to set reminders for time sensitive tasks. This product will make the lives of busy nurses easier, helping them stay on top of their various responsibilities.
Nurse Watch comes with components that ensure that a user can easily and quickly navigate between various features. The watch has a button clearly visible on the side of the external hardware that brings the user back to the home screen, no matter which page the user had been viewing. In addition, the watch features text to speech conversion for both reporting an emergency and recording reminders, reducing the time needed to complete these two tasks.

Our design accomplishes two main tasks - reporting an emergency and setting reminders for time sensitive tasks. Both of these are very important for nurses to complete promptly, but are difficult to accomplish quickly without technological aid, which is where our solution comes in.
Our first task focuses on reporting an emergency easily and notifying concerned parties. A nurse can speak into the watch to record her emergency and after pressing or saying “send,” the watch will automatically notify all staff currently wearing the watch.
Nurses receiving an emergency notification will get a flashing red screen instructing them to tap in order to view the message (to protect patient information). They can choose to notify the nurse who sent the notification that they will be coming to help.
Nurses can also set reminders for time sensitive tasks for themselves, and view them in a list where they are marked as green for completed and red for uncompleted. Nurses can always view reminders in more details, as well as edit or delete them. To set a reminder, a nurse merely speaks into her phone with the time, detail and title of the task. She can also mark a task as complete, which will require her drawing her initials on the screen for authentication.
