A way of thinking about care.
ORICU is not a technology. It is a method — a way of reasoning about nursing care, patent-protected and replicable in any system and any artificial intelligence.
Looking at the whole person,
not fragmented.
ORICU assesses care through six pillars. None too many. None missing.
The patient
Four pillars assess the integral condition of the person in the bed: their body, clinical situation, comfort and safety. Everything needed to care for them well, with nothing left out. A complete view of those who need it most.
The family
The family is not a visitor: they are part of the patient's condition. What they know, need and feel connects directly with the previous four pillars and completes them. The fifth pillar looks to those beside the bed — and includes them.
The professional
The sixth pillar looks to the other side of the bed: the professional. Their workload, their training, their talent. A cared-for professional cares better — that is a central conviction of ORICU: caring for the caregiver is not an extra, it is part of the method.
What the ORICU method does
The method takes everything the assessment gathers, grounds it in scientific evidence and translates it into the standardised language of nursing — an international taxonomy any professional in the world understands. It returns it ordered and prioritised: the urgent first, the important after. Nothing lost.
Clinical decisions always remain with the professional at the patient's side. ORICU supports the information. Professional judgement belongs to those who care.
Not a technology.
A way of thinking about care.
ORICU looks like a tech product, but it is not. Technology is only the vehicle. What ORICU protects — and what is patented — is the method: a way of reasoning about nursing care, replicable in any system and any artificial intelligence, today and with whatever technology comes tomorrow.
Nursing does not merely execute. Nursing thinks — it has its own language, logic and reasoning that deserve protection, like any engineering discipline. That is what ORICU patents. And that is what never changes, regardless of the system that runs it.
The method beyond the shift
The ORICU method applies beyond the hospital. These are the digital ecosystem components that extend care when the patient returns home.
Structured post-discharge follow-up
The professional conducts a structured telephone follow-up after the patient's discharge. ORICU organises the flow, records key points and generates useful documentation for the team.
Two-way alert
A direct communication channel between the clinical team and the patient's environment. When something changes, the alert reaches whoever needs to act — without intermediaries and without delay.
Caregiver learning
A library of specific content for caregivers and families. Contextualised information, delivered at the right moment, so that those who care at home know how to do it well.
The feeling of not being alone
Structured post-discharge contact does not only gather information: it generates presence. The patient and their family sense that the team is still there. That has a measurable clinical and human impact.
Three ways to start
ORICU adapts to context. There is a way in that fits where you are right now.
Pilot
One service, one period, one evaluation
Implementation in a unit or service for a limited period. At the end, impact is assessed and a decision made on whether to scale. No long-term commitments.
Ideal for: ICUs, internal medicine departments, step-down units.
Service
Stable implementation with support
One or several services with continuous access to the ORICU ecosystem and active support during implementation. The method becomes part of the team's daily workflow.
Ideal for: hospitals interested in structuring nursing care continuity.
Institutional
The whole group, one architecture
For hospital groups wanting to implement ORICU across the board. Multi-tenant architecture, centralised management and institutional support.
Ideal for: hospital groups, health consortiums, care networks.
