Oxygen - Fixing the Nursing Shortage
In the heart of the University of Washington’s Annual DubHacks Hackathon, a seed of an idea took root, stemmed from a global issue in healthcare that hits my family close to home. My name is Nathan Daeila, and along with my colleague Ben Price, we set out on a journey not just to develop an application but to create a meaningful solution to a critical problem facing our healthcare system: the nursing shortage. This narrative isn’t about pitching an app; it’s about sharing our journey, our challenges, our intentions, and everything else that went into making Oxygen a reality.
