The MobileFRG (Field Responder Guide) app from Priority Dispatch assists response crews to easily interpret the exact clinical or situational meaning of a response code transmitted from the dispatch center, using the Emergency Priority Dispatch Systems®, to their unit and puts it in one place: your mobile phone. Instead of guessing, or trying to flip pages when dispatch transmits a “15-D-2E” determinant descriptor code over the radio, the focused responder can simply touch key the code into the app (three taps only) and view the full code. The app can run one, two, or all three of the IAED’s medical, fire, or police protocols.
