More efficient, more digital, more human: how care facilities are cutting costs and simplifying processes with the HUMANSTARSapp

Nov 07, 2025

Smart communication for lower costs

Changing care - communication as a cost factor

Care facilities are under pressure every day: rising staff costs, a shortage of skilled workers, high communication costs and ever new documentation requirements.
There is often little time left for what really matters - the people.

At the same time, hidden costs arise due to inefficient communication:

  • Important information does not reach all layers

  • Handovers take too long

  • Duty rosters have to be adjusted and printed out several times

  • New employees need a lot of time to find their feet

This is exactly where the HUMANSTARSapp - the employee app for care facilities - comes in: It makes communication faster, safer and more economical.

1️⃣ Less effort during onboarding & induction

Every new caregiver means time spent on induction, documents and training.
The HUMANSTARSapp makes this digital and structured:

Onboarding checklists - all tasks clearly defined and digitally ticked off
Important documents & manuals always to hand
Video training for standards, hygiene, emergency procedures or software launches
Automatic reminders for mandatory briefings

This not only saves paper, but above all time and personnel costs - especially in facilities with high staff turnover.


2️⃣ Secure knowledge & make it centrally accessible

Important care instructions, process descriptions or internal guidelines are often scattered across many folders and files.
With the HUMANSTARSapp, this becomes a digital knowledge repository that everyone can access - whether in the duty room or in the living area.

  • Care instructions, hygiene guidelines and medication plans are always up to date.

  • New content can be published immediately.

  • Old documents automatically disappear from the view - no risk from outdated versions.

This saves teams time, reduces sources of error and fulfills documentation obligations more efficiently.


3️⃣ Compulsory training courses digital & traceable

Care facilities are obliged to provide regular training (e.g. hygiene, fire safety, data protection).
With the HUMANSTAR app, this works digitally:

🎥 Videos, presentations or PDF documents can be uploaded
📅 Employees confirm their participation with a click
📊 The institution automatically receives an overview of who has been trained

This saves paper, space and organizational effort - and ensures legally compliant evidence without additional software costs.


4️⃣ Multilingual communication & inclusion

Many care staff come from different countries. Language barriers can make collaboration difficult.
Thanks to the integrated real-time translation of the HUMANSTAR app, messages, instructions and information can be automatically translated into several languages.

This ensures comprehensibility, promotes integration and reduces misunderstandings - without the need for external translators or expensive tools.


5️⃣ Control tasks & communication intelligently

Whether shift swaps, vacation requests, emergency information or resident activities - with the HUMANSTARSapp, everyone keeps track of everything.

👩‍⚕️ Tasks can be assigned individually or group-based
📱 Push notifications provide immediate information
📊 Team leaders see progress in real time

This eliminates a large proportion of internal e-mails, phone calls and handwritten notes - saving time and nerves.


6️⃣ Integration into existing systems

The HUMANSTARSapp can be easily connected to existing HR or payroll systems such as DATEV.
This avoids duplicate data entry and speeds up processes - especially in HR administration.

Interfaces to time recording, duty scheduling or payroll systems are also possible - for an end-to-end digital process chain.


7️⃣ Promote exchange & team spirit

Care means teamwork. But due to shift work, part-time and night work, many employees rarely see each other.
The HUMANSTARSapp creates a digital meeting place:

💬 Team forums for discussions and questions
🎉 Event invitations sent directly to cell phones
🌟 Make appreciation visible - e.g. with "Employee of the month" or thank you posts

This strengthens cohesion, motivates and creates a sense of togetherness, which is essential in the care sector.


8️⃣ Fair price - great effect 

The new pricing model also makes the HUMANSTAR app attractive for smaller institutions:

Your package price for a 12-month term:

  • Up to 10 employees: €19 / month

  • Up to 20 employees: €29 / month
    📈 Upgrades possible at any time

Included in the price:
✔️ System setup & hosting
✔️ Online and email support
✔️ CMS access
✔️ Data backups & security updates
✔️ Further development of all modules

This means that even smaller care facilities or outpatient services can get started digitally - without high investment or IT costs.

 

 


Conclusion: efficiency and proximity - even in day-to-day care

Care facilities need solutions that make everyday life easier, not more complicated.
The HUMANSTARSapp combines communication, organization and knowledge in one system - simply, securely and economically.

💡 Less paper, less effort, more time for people.
