Medic Now vs EMS Pathfinder

Medic Now is a robust platform built for emergency medical response, integrating three powerful modules to enhance efficiency and communication. It provides instant access to critical protocols and treatment guidelines, a dispatch module with real-time alerts, and a hospital notification system that keeps receiving facilities informed with live ETA updates and patient status reports. Stay connected, informed, and ready when every second counts.

Free statewide and regional EMS protocols, with a drug reference and clinical tools, in one app that works without signal. No subscription, and protocol updates are free. Every protocol is rebuilt for your phone screen, so there's no pinching and zooming around a printed page or PDF. Pick your state, region or agency once and everything downloads to your device, ready for the basement, the back road or the dead zone. Updates arrive on their own the next time you're online.

Always check the concentration on the packaging and confirm doses against local protocol before you give them. Each public protocol set shows its source and when we last updated it. Confirm with your state or regional EMS authority and your medical director. Questions or feedback? Tap Support in the app or visit emspathfinderapp.com.
