Handover is a shift job list built for ward work on your phone. Capture jobs by ward and bed as you go, walk the list bed by bed, and hand over to your colleague at end of shift with a QR code or shareable link. PRIVACY FIRST • Everything stays on your device — no account, no server, no cloud sync • Private bed notes never leave your phone • You choose exactly which jobs to hand over BUILT FOR SHIFTS • Organise jobs by ward and bed • Set reminders for due tasks • Take over from a colleague's QR code or link • Review and map wards before jobs land on your list FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS Use non-identifying clinical shorthand only. Handover is a task list and decision-support aid — it does not replace verbal handover or clinical responsibility. Questions or feedback: khalid@drshamiyah.com
