Enterprise Estonia’s applied research programme has allocated funding to Cognuse. The allocated funds will be further used to develop the CoNurse platform. The aim of the project is to expand the functionalities of CoNurse through developing a stochastic model which helps detect whether a nurse requires assistance to complete a procedure. The model will allow CoNurse to initiate guidance based on continuously monitored input parameters as well as previously set rules. For example, the model will consider the procedure’s complexity, the nurse’s experience and exhaustion levels, and a variety of other parameters.
In order to map CoNurse’s present condition and model its future solution, the app is being developed in close collaboration with Cybernetica. Interviews will be conducted with nurses and nursing supervisors from different hospitals, such as the Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States and the Bamberg Academy in Germany. The objective is to form an advisory board of nurses who will use their practical expertise to contribute to CoNurse’s future growth and give continual input or improvement.
This project is funded by European Union European Regional Development Fund (as a reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic) in collaboration with Enterprise Estonia. The CoNurse project received a total grant of €561,165.75 which is split between Cognuse OÜ (beneficiary) and Cybernetica AS (R&D partner).The allocated fund will go a long way in accomplishing the aim of the project. The project already began in January 2022 and will conclude in December 2023.
