MedStar Alert app for iPhone and iPad

MedStar Alert is intended primarily for use by emergency first responders in the Northwest MedStar service area throughout the Pacific Northwest, but also may be utilized by those throughout the country as a reference tool.

MedStar Alert links the emergency first responder directly with Northwest MedStar’s Communications Center. The GPS function instantly alerts Northwest MedStar of your location while we verify aircraft availability and ETA. This speeds response times and places the flight crew on standby at no cost to your patient. You still must go through your normal request channels to launch the helicopter.

MedStar Alert also provides additional functions and important reference information for medical and trauma emergencies including:

- Send EKG, wound, accident scene photos
- Send HIPAA compliant social media photos
- Access education references and courses
- EMS pocket reference
- Northwest MedStar contact information and more
