GUIDE2CARE: Digital knowledge plattform for nursing and caring

Research period: January 09th, 2025 - December 21st, 2028

In their professional daily routines, nurses must handle complex situations and interpret their patients' health conditions accurately. Guidelines for nursing provides practice recommendations and summarize the current state of knowledge. The rapid increase in scientific publications necessitates digital formats to ensure the up-to-dateness and quality of guidelines.

The planned App, “Guide2Care”, offers an adaptive online platform that delivers complex nursing knowledge based on evidence-based findings, tailored to various educational levels in health and nursing care (nursing assistants, nursing specialists, advanced nursing services). With an interactive interface, the app offers an appealing format that is practical and user-oriented, providing valuable support for practitioners. The app's content is primarily aimed at nursing professionals. Still, it is also intended to appeal to individuals with care needs or those seeking information, such as their caregiving relatives and associates.

Research goals

  • Development of a independent web application to support nurses in their continuing education at various levels.
  • Provision of digital and interactively prepared, evidence-based nursing knowledge
  • Scalability of content according to education level and care setting
