allygatr invests in startup Novaheal

Novaheal has gained a new operating venture capitalist in allygatr. The Bochum-based startup has developed an app that bundles expertise for the nursing profession and aims to make it more attractive.

Berlin - Novaheal is reshaping nursing education with an app that brings all the knowledge to smartphones. The learning app enables trainees to deepen and expand their specialist knowledge in a digital reference work. Gaps in knowledge can be closed and skills developed through playful exercises.

30% dropout rate in nursing training

Staff shortages are widespread in the care sector, and training is not spared either. Outdated equipment and a lack of staff often put trainees in overwhelming situations. The dropout rate in nursing training is around 30 percent nationwide, and this will further exacerbate the acute shortage of skilled workers in the future. This is where Novaheal comes in, helping nurses to work confidently and continuously expand their knowledge.

One advantage of the app is that the founders themselves come from a nursing background and know the challenges very well. They know that there is often no time to spend a long time searching the Internet for answers or asking colleagues for advice. The smartphone is pulled out and the app is opened - all important information is available quickly and clearly.

Novaheal enhances the entire nursing sector and makes one of the most important professions attractive for society.
