The process

The Five-Step Process

1

You apply

Tell us what you’re building. We’ll learn about your product, your intended use case, and the clinical settings where it lives. Early-stage concepts, market-ready products, software, hardware — we evaluate it all.

2

Your panel is curated

We match your product with nurse experts from our Nurse Nexus community. They’re screened for the specialties and clinical environments where your innovation will actually work. The panel sees your product, not your name — it’s blind from the start.

3

The evaluation runs

Our proprietary framework — the Nurse Quality Index Score (NQIS) — is built for everything from concept to market. Nurses evaluate usability, clinical impact, safety, and integration potential. They score. They deliberate. They record their thoughts on camera.

4

You get the full report

Executive summary, detailed scoring across dimensions, video responses from the nurses themselves — footage your sales team will want in every pitch deck. Whether you earned the Seal or not, this data is yours to keep.

5

Meet the bar, earn the Seal

Clear our high standard and you’ve earned certification for 12 months. The Seal carries the weight of a blind, independent evaluation by practicing nurses. Not everyone makes it. That’s exactly why it means something when you do.

Why it matters

Why the Seal Matters

Healthcare doesn’t buy claims. It buys proof. Your value-analysis committee is full of nurses. Products that skip nurse input stall in the sales cycle and fail at the bedside. Nurse Approved puts that input on the table, captured, scored, and certified by a third party.

De-risk your launch — real nurse feedback before you scale
Differentiate at scale — nurse-generated data published in white papers
Accelerate deals — the Seal on your deck stops the “we need to ask nurses” conversation
Build investor confidence — third-party validation from the most trusted profession
