Combating nurse burnout with technology
In-House Health was founded in 2023 by a team with a unique perspective: two healthcare professionals and a technical leader. Recognizing the challenges nurses face with scheduling and staffing, they sought to leverage technology to create a more efficient and supportive work environment.
The problem: tedious planning and unpredictable demand
Nurse leaders currently spend a significant portion of their time (more than 15 hours per week) on manual planning tasks. This reliance on outdated methods like drag-and-drop on screens, whiteboards, or even pen and paper hampers efficiency.
Additionally, large hospitals often operate in a siled approach, managing thousands of employees across regions. This leads to difficulties in anticipating staffing needs and meeting fluctuating demand.

In-House Health addresses these challenges with a data-driven approach:
- Collaboration with hospitals: The company works closely with hospitals and providers to seamlessly integrate with existing workflows.
- AI-driven planning: Their AI algorithm, trained on millions of patient records, identifies patterns of care at the bedside. This allows to :
- Predictive forecasts: Anticipate team changes weeks in advance, unlike traditional methods.
- Reduced planning time: The algorithm potentially cuts planning times in half.
- Labor cost savings: In-House Health estimates that costs will be reduced by more than 10% through optimized staffing.
“Saving manager time on scheduling is a huge win and relieves burnout among nursing leaders, but the real prize is improved staffing outcomes,” explained Ari Brenner, Co-Founder at In-House Health. “When hospitals fail to properly predict the future, it costs money in overtime pay and agency use. We can reduce both through precision staffing.”
