The MACH Health® app

One check-in at the start of a shift. Support for the whole of it.

Built by nurses for shift work. A quick daily check-in shapes what each nurse sees next, from a two-minute stretch on a break to a sleep routine after nights.

A shift with the app

Support that fits around the roster, not on top of it.

Nurses don't have time for another programme. The app works in the gaps a shift already has.

  1. Start of shift
    Daily Check In card

    Daily check-in

    About a minute. Energy, mood, sleep and food, so the app knows how the nurse is arriving.

  2. During the shift
    Personalised suggestions after a check-in

    Personalised prompts

    Suggestions matched to that day's check-in, timed for the points in a shift when strain tends to build.

  3. After the shift
    Nightly reflection message after a tough day

    Nightly reflection

    One question to close the day, whether they worked or rested, and a kind word back when it was a hard one.

Getting started

It starts with a baseline, so support is personal from day one.

A short onboarding and a wellbeing assessment across seven areas of nursing life. It takes a few minutes and repeats monthly to track change.

For organisations

Nurses get support. Leaders get an early warning.

The same check-ins that personalise the app show where strain is building across teams, before it turns into sick leave or a resignation.

De-identified by design

Leaders see team and ward trends. Never an individual nurse's answers.

Mapped to WHIP®

Assess, select, implement, evaluate. Each step of the pathway shows up in the data.

No new hardware

Runs on phones nurses already carry. No time away from the ward.
