Nurse Ready

Case Study

Dafe Software was entrusted with the development of Nurse Ready, a comprehensive solution encompassing mobile applications for both Android and iOS platforms, built using the Flutter framework. Additionally, we created a robust web-based admin panel utilizing Angular 16+, enabling seamless management of the platform's content and user data. The API development for backend operations was handled using Express.js, ensuring smooth integration and efficient data handling.

Project Overview

Nurse Ready is an innovative platform designed to help internationally educated nurses (IENs) navigate the communication challenges they may face in the Canadian healthcare setting. Through authentic scenarios and task-based self-assessments, Nurse Ready targets professional language and communication skills, providing IENs with valuable insights into how effective communication impacts the client-centered experience in Canada.

The Problem Statement

Internationally educated nurses often face significant challenges when transitioning to the Canadian healthcare system, particularly in the realm of communication. Navigating cultural differences, adapting to local terminology, and effectively communicating with patients and colleagues can be daunting tasks. The lack of targeted resources and practical training opportunities exacerbates these challenges, hindering IENs' ability to provide high-quality, client-centered care.
