County EMS protocols · free · no account
Every line of the protocol. In your pocket. With no bars.
MedicOS carries your county’s whole protocol document — searchable word for word, exactly as the county printed it — and keeps working when the signal does not.
Opens in your browser. Add it to your home screen and it works offline from then on.

Try it — take the signal away.
01 · Offline
It opens with no signal.
Basements. Elevators. Rural roads. The back of a moving ambulance. The places you need a protocol are often the places with no bars — so the whole document lives on the phone.
Nothing loads. Nothing spins. Add MedicOS to your home screen once with a connection, and every protocol, every search and every calculator is there from then on, signal or not.
- Every protocol, word for word
- Search by drug, sign or number
- Your scope, sorted to the top
- Both practice tests and your missed list
- Printed pages you have opened before
02 · Verbatim
It is the county’s own words.
Nothing is reworded, shortened or interpreted. Every line is the printed text, with the page it came from. When you read a dose here, it is the dose in the document.
And at the end of every protocol sits the page itself, as the county printed it — swipe through, tap to expand, pinch to zoom. Hold the two against each other any time you like.
03 · Your scope
It leads with your scope.
Set your level once. Your lines sort to the top of every protocol and search results are marked as yours.
It hides nothing. Every scope stays readable, because the person next to you is working to a different one and you may need to read theirs.

04 · Practice
It quizzes you on the real thing.
Two tests built from the document: EMT Specific and Medic Specific. Every question has exactly one right answer, and every answer cites the line it came from — one tap opens the protocol on that line.
Miss one and it waits in your missed list, as flashcards or a quiz of its own, until you get it right twice in a row.
What is the aspirin dose, and what are the contraindications?
05 · Current
It checks the county every day.
The county’s published document is fetched and compared automatically, every day. A revision is brought into the app word for word, and the printed pages are re-rendered with it.
The app shows the document’s revision date and the date it was last checked, right at the top, so you can see for yourself whether what you are reading is current.
And the small things that matter at 3 a.m.
Built around a shift, not a demo.
Nearest receiving hospital
Receiving facilities with their trauma, STEMI and stroke designations, sorted by distance from where you are. One tap; your position is never stored.
Search by voice
Gloves on, hands full. Tap the mic and say the drug.
Dark mode for night shifts
Set it before the shift, not during one. A white screen at 3 a.m. costs you the eyes you need for the patient.
Installs like an app
Add it to your home screen from the browser. It opens full screen, with its own icon, and stays on the phone.
Updates arrive on their own
Open it with signal and the fix is there. Your level, pins and settings stay exactly as they were.
Nothing to sign up for
Open it and read. Registration is offered, never required, and nothing you do in the app is sold or shared.
Also · The Career Hub
For the things that expire.
Licences, certifications, CE hours and renewal dates, with a reminder before each one runs out. A free account, in your browser, kept separate from the protocol app so the protocols never need one.
