The answer,
before the doubt.
LISA stands for Localised Information and Support Assistant, an app that retrieves hospital data for nurses and connects them to mentors in the area.
Only use demo questions
Responsibility travels further than support.
The knowledge exists. The access does not.
A rural nurse is often the only clinician on site — with the widest scope of practice in Australian healthcare.Rural and Remote Health, 2017
The evidence she needs exists, but it’s on a desktop she can’t reach, behind search that doesn’t understand clinical questions.Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing, Bail et al.
The senior nurse who’d know the answer is mentoring for free, in her own time — so it rarely happens.Rural and Remote Health, 410
One question.
Two safe paths.
LISA does not pretend every problem belongs to software.
Ask a policy question, get a cited answer.
Retrieval from the hospital's own approved documents. Every answer shows its document, section and date. It retrieves; it never advises.
Source groundedWhen it needs judgement, reach a person.
Questions needing experience or emotional support route to a senior nurse. The same detection other tools use to reject becomes a human connection.
Human routedBorn from a real interview with a practising nurse at the CEIH MedTech Hackathon. Designed around how nurses actually work: mobile, fast, and grounded only in approved sources.
Small team.
Serious intent.
