On scene. Patient can't tell you their meds. Clock's ticking. EMS Drug Reference gives you instant answers on unknown patient medications — photograph the bottle, speak the name, or type it. See what it means for your patient in seconds. Enter a full medication list at once and immediately see what conditions it may suggest: cardiac, respiratory, neurological, and more. No more looking drugs up one by one. No more guessing at prehospital pharmacology on the fly. Blood thinners are flagged automatically — because missing that detail isn't an option. Share a clean handoff summary as a PDF when you transfer care — medications, conditions, and the AI summary in one document. Built for EMRs, EMTs, AEMTs, and Paramedics at every certification level. PRO Unlimited lookups and encrypted patient history stored privately on your device. Offline mode queues lookups with no signal and finishes them automatically when you're back online. Save a patient's ID or insurance card alongside their lookup, with your choice of retention window — from 1 hour to 3 days. PRIVACY Medication photos are read on your phone first, and patient information is stripped before anything is sent for AI analysis. ID and insurance card photos are never analyzed or transmitted — they stay on your device only and clear automatically based on the retention window you set. You're always in control of what's saved and for how long. ——— For informational and reference purposes only. Not medical advice. Always follow your local protocols and medical direction.
