Built by medics, for medics, Muru delivers you the right tools you need during a call. Intuitive, blazingly fast, and built for the mission-critical work you do. Protocol Finder ------------------------------- Find the right protocol without having to memorize the name. Just type in any medical condition and Muru will locate the correct protocol in your protocol set. Dosing ------------------------------- Get any information you need on a dose. Find out how many times you can repeat your dose, if it’s a medical control order, or its contraindications. Med Math ------------------------------- All your med math done for you with every variable accounted for. Infusion sets, concentrations, weight, 200 mg in 250 ml – it’s all taken care of. Transportation Decisions -------------------------------------------------- No second-guessing transport decisions or arguments about if a hospital recently lost its STEMI certification. Know where the closest specialty hospital is and how much farther it is than your closest hospital. Equipment & Meds ------------------------------- Dive into everything you carry on your ambulance. Know why the auto compressor is beeping twice, if you have to double or single tread your tourniquet, or everywhere ketamine is used in your protocols. Your Sources ------------------------------- All the information in Muru is from a source you are authorized to follow. Your medical director, your DOH, your officer, your manufacturer’s recommendations. You can see the source of any result with a single tap. If you have any issues when using the app, you can hit the 'Get support' button in the menu to get in touch with a member of the Muru team or email us at support@murumed.com.
