## What is PHEM Logger?

PHEM Logger is a precision timestamping tool for pre-hospital emergency medicine professionals. Designed for Enhanced Care Teams, Paramedic crews, and First responders, it captures accurate real-time timestamps for every key event during a patient job — supporting clinical governance, handover documentation, and post-incident audit.

Built for glove-friendly, single-handed operation under pressure.

JOB TIMINGS
Timestamp every phase of a job — activation, mobile, on scene, at patient, leaving scene, and hospital arrival — with a live on-scene stopwatch.

DRUGS
Log clinician-administered medications with automatic frequency counting across repeat administrations. Includes adrenaline (bolus and infusion), fentanyl, ketamine, rocuronium, TXA, morphine, and more.

INTERVENTIONS
Record the precise time of clinical interventions including airway management, PHEA, blood products, IV and arterial access, ultrasound, and fracture management.

CARDIAC ARREST
Timestamp shocks, rhythm changes, ROSC, mechanical CPR, cardiac arrest drugs and termination of resuscitation.
Recording initial events such as time of arrest, bystander CPR, bystander AED.
With recordings of cardiac rhythms including ROSC, automatic calculation of total no flow time & total low flow time.

DASHBOARD
A single glance shows your current job status, on-scene time, and recent events. App stays open, preventing sleep mode with customisable setting.

MAKE NOTES & BUILD ATMIST HANDOVER RECORD
Notes can fit your preferred structure which can then be directly mapped to the ATMIST handover notes.
Record key vital signs snapshots for ATMIST handover.
Fully exportable: End of handover or from job lists export to a plain text preview which can be easily read at handover

CUSTOMISABLE
Edit numerous setting: Display appearance, On scene audible alert timing, Confirmation alerts, Headings & Timings required for notes page, ATMIST sections mapped to Notes.

JOB REPORT & SHARE FUNCTION
During and end of job timings report viewable with share function into. Notes or messaging apps.
Compatibility with Bixolon SPP-R310 (iOS) thermal printer for handover to other clinical teams.

SIMULATION READY
PHEM Logger works equally well during manikin-based simulation exercises and training scenarios, making it a valuable tool for team debriefs and skills development.

IMPORTANT: PHEM Logger is a passive recording tool only. It does not provide clinical guidance, recommendations, or decision support of any kind. All events are clinician-initiated.

### 5/5 — An app I didn’t know I needed

*2026-06-12*

Have been using PHEM logger as part of my practice for the last few weeks and it really helps to streamline my handovers and improves accuracy of timings when on scene.

## Frequently asked questions about PHEM Logger

### What is PHEM Logger used for?

PHEM Logger is a precision timestamping tool designed for pre-hospital emergency medicine professionals. It captures accurate real-time timestamps for key events during patient care, aiding in clinical governance, handover documentation, and post-incident audits.

### Can PHEM Logger be used with gloves on?

Yes, PHEM Logger is specifically built for glove-friendly, single-handed operation, making it practical for use under pressure in emergency situations.

### What types of events can be logged in PHEM Logger?

PHEM Logger can log job timings (activation, on scene, hospital arrival), clinician-administered medications, clinical interventions (airway management, blood products), and detailed cardiac arrest events including shocks, rhythm changes, and ROSC.

### Does PHEM Logger provide clinical guidance?

No, PHEM Logger is a passive recording tool only. It does not provide clinical guidance, recommendations, or decision support. All events are clinician-initiated.

### Can PHEM Logger be used for training simulations?

Yes, PHEM Logger works equally well during manikin-based simulation exercises and training scenarios, making it a valuable tool for team debriefs and skills development.

### How does PHEM Logger help with patient handovers?

PHEM Logger allows users to make notes that can be mapped to ATMIST handover structures and record key vital signs snapshots. The data is fully exportable to a plain text preview for easy reading during handover.

### Is PHEM Logger available on multiple devices?

Based on the provided data, PHEM Logger is supported on both Apple Watch and iPhone devices.

### How often is PHEM Logger updated?

The latest version of PHEM Logger is 1.3, and it was last updated on June 25, 2026. This suggests a relatively active development cycle.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-08-01

Compatibility with Bixolon SPP-R310 (iOS) portable thermal printer for point of care printing to be able to export the ATMIST, Notes and timing information to give when handing over to clinical teams. This printer uses 80mm thermal paper, picture attached.

iPad version compatibility, taking advantage of the additional size of screen with layout changes in Portrait compared to Landscape.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-25

- Cardiac Arrest screen — new Initial Events and Initial Times sections:
  - Initial Events: record whether the arrest was Witnessed, whether Bystander CPR (bCPR) was given, and whether an AED was used (with Shock / No Shock). Each answer shows a quick status badge on its button.
  - Initial Times: record the time of Cardiac Arrest, Bystander CPR and FPOS (approximate, to the minute).
  - The Cardiac Arrest and Bystander CPR times now also appear in chronological order on the Current Timings page.
  
- Export now groups the Cardiac Arrest section as Initial Events, Initial Times, derived No Flow / Low Flow times, then logged events. No Flow and Low Flow times are also shown on the job summary.

- Export preview now includes your Title and Signature information (as set in Settings) within the Notes section — title at the top, signature at the foot. Applies to the text preview, Plain Text and Excel exports, and the bulk export.
  
- Job List now orders most recent first (date descending, then CAD number descending).

### 1.2 — 2026-06-17

Auto-Dim is now off by default, making the app easier to pick up for new users. The Auto-Dim settings screen now includes a description explaining what the feature does and how to restore full brightness after the screen dims (press and hold anywhere for 1 second).

### 1.1 — 2026-06-10

This update adds significant new features to the iPhone version:

• On new job, able to skip the CAD screen. Default number placed in the current time (24hour). CAD number now editable as well as additional fields such as scene Grid reference and additional reference number field. 

• For a new job, on entering job timings, screen is keep on job timing screen after confirmation / timing entered until ‘At Patient’ timing entered. After this timing there is then a return to the main screen. The is still an option to return the main screen as required. 

• Log events with exact time, estimated time, or no timestamp (Now / Pick / No Time)
• Exact time includes seconds precision for all timing entries

• Auto-dim has been added to the iPhone app to help conserve battery during long jobs. When enabled, the screen brightness will automatically fade to a user-configured level after a period of inactivity (30 seconds, 1, 2, or 5 minutes). A one-second long press on the screen instantly restores the brightness — preventing accidental activation during normal use. Both the timeout duration and the dim brightness level (10–80%) can be configured in Settings under Display → Auto-Dim.

• When resuming a job that has been previously completed, the job ending time (eg handover, PLE or stand down time) is now not cleared but instead remains intact.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-03
