Problem
Hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers face chronic nurse shortages, leading to delayed assessments, higher surgery cancellation rates, and preventable patient readmissions. Coordinating pre‑operative, intra‑operative, and post‑operative workflows often requires manual effort, resulting in compliance gaps and increased liability.
Solution
SmartNurse delivers an agentic AI nurse, FLO, that automates patient engagement and clinical workflows across the surgical care continuum. Using a patented conversational‑AI platform built on large language models and AI agents, FLO conducts rapid pre‑op assessments, provides real‑time post‑surgery guidance, and triages emergencies via integrated wearables and EHR data. The system reduces assessment time from 30 minutes to seconds, proactively prevents readmissions and surgery cancellations, and generates auditable compliance records to accelerate revenue‑cycle reimbursement. By extending nursing capacity virtually, FLO improves staff efficiency, lowers liability, and enhances patient satisfaction without requiring additional human resources.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and private surgical clinics seeking to mitigate nursing shortages, improve surgical workflow efficiency, and reduce readmission and cancellation costs.
