When software acts on people who cannot question it, the record has to hold up for them.
What you can do
- Automate night locking, alarms and documentation without losing the right to say who decided what.
- Let a nurse approve the unusual cases in the moment, and let the routine ones run.
- Answer a family's question about one resident on one night in minutes, with the record itself.
What you are saved from
- Having only your own logs to show when a family, an inspector or a court asks.
- Automation that quietly drifts outside your self-monitoring plan.
- Arguments about whether a note was approved before it reached the record system.
What it costs
Free to download and use, with nothing to sign up for. Paid work, such as a readiness review or a pilot in your own environment, is scoped to your case and priced as a fixed amount agreed before it starts. No subscription, no per-seat fee. Vaara is dual-licensed: free under the AGPL-3.0, or under a commercial licence when you build it into a product you ship closed, run a modified version as a service without publishing your changes, or your policy does not allow copyleft. Write to hello@vaara.io.
What it saves you
- Hours of reconstruction for every complaint or inspection question.
- A rollout that would otherwise stall at the first supervisory question.
- The cost of re-auditing automation each time a supplier changes it.
Every action ends in one of three states, and leaves a receipt
Allowed
Inside the rules: it goes through.
Needs a person
Unusual or risky: it waits until a person says yes or no.
Refused
Against the rules: it never happens.
Receipt
Every one of the three leaves a signed record of what was decided and why.
