Problem to solve
Un manque de personnel et d'organisation, des stocks de matériel périmés ou incomplets, et une surcharge de protocoles compliquent le suivi des soins fournis par les infirmier·ère·s, provoquant des erreurs, du stress et des risques accrus pour les patients et le personnel.
Proposed solution
Nurs-X propose un chariot de soins qui facilite le travail du soignant qui va executer un soin de plaies grâce à une aide diagnostique et une distribution de pansements integrés pour une meilleure gestion des stocks.
Request to H4
H4 pourrait nous accompagner à la réalisation d'une étude comparative entre Nursx et les méthodes de soins de plaies actuelles afin de valider l'hypothèse selon laquelle Nursx faciliterait les soins de plaies en limitant le risque d'erreur du soignant.
What this project changes in healthcare: the problem to solve
• 3,000 deaths per year in Switzerland linked to medical errors.
• Over CHF 40 million in direct compensation payments each year.
• Frequent absenteeism and burnout among healthcare staff.
• Over 200 protocols at CHUV: increased complexity, wasted time, risk of errors.
• Diagnosis and equipment management sometimes faulty: health, economic and environmental consequences.
The envisaged solution
• NURS-X application to digitise and automate care traceability.
• AI-assisted nursing diagnosis for wounds (scanner + trained algorithms).
• Intuitive interface to reduce mental and administrative workload.
• Automated equipment management: stock tracking, dressing organisation, controlled waste disposal.
• Integrated billing to limit economic losses.
• Objective: to reduce care errors, enhance patient safety and free up time for nursing staff.
Hands-on support from H4
• Scientific validation with experts from CHUV, schools and hospital partners.
• Field evaluation with nurses to adjust to actual needs.
• Methodological support for scientific positioning and impact evidence.
• Support for fundraising and integration into health innovation programmes (CHUV, GENILEM, U-create, H4).
What impact on the next steps of the project?
• Reduction in medical errors and associated costs.
• Prevention of burnout through reduced administrative workload.
• Automatic traceability and digitisation in line with quality standards.
• Gradual expansion beyond wounds to other areas of healthcare.
• Contribution to safer, more sustainable and environmentally friendly healthcare.
• Potential for deployment in Switzerland and internationally.
