The problem

Resident doctors rotate between wards and hospitals regularly. Every shift starts with a handover, often verbal or scribbled on paper, where important details slip through the cracks. Tasks get forgotten. And the tools available are either too generic, too slow, or not designed for clinical workflows at all.

Why HelixOrg exists

Built from real conversations with resident doctors about handovers scribbled on paper, task lists scattered across different systems, and critical details slipping through the cracks between shifts. HelixOrg is what a genuinely useful tool for ward doctors looks like when you strip away everything unnecessary and focus on what actually matters during a shift.

Investigations
