FirstWatch Mobile App Now Available

Did you know that the FirstWatch mobile App for iOS and Android was chosen as one of EMS World’s Top Twenty Innovations of 2014? Out of a very competitive field of over 90 entries this year, our app was chosen to be recognized. Our mobile app is the first of its kind that allows EMS teams to monitor, analyze and display user-defined criteria from CAD, ePCR, ProQA, RMS or even Hospital ED data systems.

Mobile App Features

With 24-7-365 access to your data, the new Android phone app allows you to monitor in near real-time your public safety and public health performance, operational and clinical compliance data, all at your finger-tips. The app is free for FirstWatch customers and can be downloaded now!

The new Android phone app features all the same features as the iPhone app, including drag and drop gauges, in-depth drill downs into incidents, graphs, charts and maps. The app also serves as a main entry point to your FirstWatch system, allowing you to click any trigger and launch into the browser version of FirstWatch triggers for further analysis.

Both the Android and Apple apps feature in-app trigger alerts so you can access your  fully-identified FirstWatch alerts securely right on your mobile device. We’ve worked with Page, Wolfberg & Wirth, LCC to make sure our apps are secure as possible and HIPAA compliant.

Finally, we know those of you with Android phones have been waiting the longest to get your own FirstWatch mobile app, and we’re sorry we’ve kept you waiting. To help make up for it, you’re getting a new feature that users of other devices have to wait for. The Android phone version is the first of our mobile apps to display an interactive map with clickable pins containing detailed call information.

(This feature is coming to the iPhone and tablet versions in the near future, but you Android phone users get it first!)
