Nurses on call, South Africa
I
ntroducing of an ‘App’ that our company Nurses on Call has developed called Nurses Online (NOL). This App has been
developed and based on Uber. Currently uses smartphone technology to book nurses at hospitals similarly to the way Uber
books taxi drivers. Then, further developed the technology to use facial recognition to clock nurses in and out of the hospital
or the home. The technology has potential to save the Healthcare Industry hundreds of millions in administrative costs, and
in the elimination of clocking fraud. A full demonstration will be given of how the app works and the benefits it has to offer.
