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. When first responders submit a request, the user will see the steps taken by the PHI Air Medical communication center to evaluate the request and then assign an aircraft to the request. Once the helicopter is on its way, the user will be able to track the aircraft in real-time with a map feature. In a hospital environment, the user logs into the FlyPHI app (web or device) to make a request and complete a form before confirming the flight. When the aircraft is on its way, the user will be able to track it in real time with a map feature. Request a flight with the push of a button – PHI Air Medical is there for you.
