FlyPHI is an app that supports PHI Air Medical partners to electronically request a helicopter, sending the app user’s information and GPS location to deploy the PHI aircraft to the scene or hospital for safe and high-quality clinical transport. Accurate and fast with real-time tracking, the app creates a simplified process for dispatch and a cohesive tool for improved communication and record keeping.
