Case Study

Protocol Guide

The app that digitized emergency medical protocols for every fire department and EMS agency in California.

The Problem

Fire departments and EMS agencies across California relied on outdated paper protocol binders — thick, unwieldy manuals that were difficult to search during emergency calls.

Protocols changed frequently, but distributing updates to every unit in the field was slow and error-prone. Paramedics needed instant, reliable access to the right protocol at the right moment.

The Solution

We built Protocol Guide — a mobile app that digitized over 64,000 emergency medical protocols from every LEMSA in California.

Using AI-powered semantic search with AI-powered semantic search and vector embeddings, paramedics can find the exact protocol they need in seconds. No more flipping through binders during a cardiac arrest.

Protocols update in real-time as LEMSAs publish changes, ensuring every agency always has the latest version.
