ACLS Assist is a clinical decision-support tool that helps trained healthcare professionals manage cardiac arrest resuscitations in real time. Designed for physicians, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and pharmacists who run or participate in code blues, ACLS Assist tracks the timing, medications, airway management, and procedures that the Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) algorithm depends on — so the team can focus on the patient instead of the clock. KEY FEATURES • Live code timer with automatic 2-minute CPR cycle and pulse-check reminders • Epinephrine interval tracker (3–5 minute standard) with visual alerts • Amiodarone and lidocaine antiarrhythmic dosing reference • One-tap logging for medications, defibrillation, advanced airway, IV/IO access, and procedure deviations • Respiratory event tracking • Timeline view that captures every event with precise timestamps • ROSC and code-end documentation • Auto-generated session report with patient & physician details, exportable as PDF PRO PLUS FEATURES • ARIS — AI-powered post-code debriefing to support quality review and team learning • Session sharing via QR code for handoffs and team review • Hospital logo & branding in exported reports • Add missed events to retrospectively complete reports • Priority support WHY ACLS ASSIST Code blues are chaotic. Drug-dose intervals get missed, pulse checks slip past, and accurate documentation is nearly impossible to reconstruct after the fact. ACLS Assist provides a clear, structured interface that one team member can run from a phone — keeping the team aligned and producing a complete, timestamped record automatically. IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCLAIMER ACLS Assist is intended solely for use by trained healthcare professionals as a documentation and reference aid. It is NOT a substitute for clinical judgment, certified ACLS training, current published guidelines, or institutional protocols. Always defer to your training, your team leader, and local policies. ACLS Assist does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease and is not a medical device. SUBSCRIPTIONS ACLS Assist offers two optional auto-renewing subscriptions: • Pro — full session tabs, advanced reporting, unlimited sessions • Pro Plus — everything in Pro plus AI debriefing, sharing, and hospital branding Free trial available where offered. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
