ESW Mobile App is intended mostly for reference before and after emergencies, and for study purposes when preparing for certification/recertification in emergency skills. Although the app can be used during emergencies, the degree of detail contained in the management steps is better suited for review purposes. This app is intended for use in conjunction with the complete ESW manual. Users of this app are strongly encouraged to refer to the manual for thorough explanation of management steps, and for a comprehensive analysis of the related research along with full citations.

The SentiLiter is a network-enabled system for monitoring changes in fluid level and rates of fluid flow
specifically in IV infusion bags and catheter bags for medical patients. The system is designed to provide
alerts to the appropriate caregivers remotely to reduce the need for them to check each bag manually,
saving caregiver time and effort and improving overall patient care by having issues attended to more
quickly. The alerts are intended to notify caregivers when IV or catheter bags will need service soon –
typically when an IV bag is nearly empty or a catheter bag is nearly full – or there is a significant
deviation or change in the flow rate of the fluid, which could indicate a problem with the fluid tubing or
that a patient has begun to produce output into a catheter bag after surgery
