Your agency's protocols, not someone else's.
Protocol Guide is a fast reference tool for paramedics and EMTs who need to look up their local EMS protocols on shift. Every search is scoped to your agency's published orders — so a paramedic in Los Angeles sees LA County DHS, not some other county's guidelines.
WHY PROTOCOL GUIDE
Most reference apps show a generic national protocol set. That's useless when you're being audited to your LEMSA's standing orders. Protocol Guide pulls directly from your Local Emergency Medical Services Agency's published manuals and keeps your search results inside your jurisdiction.
FEATURES
• Jurisdiction-scoped search — results filtered to your county's LEMSA
• 2-second lookup — find the right protocol chunk from thousands of pages
• Voice input — hands-free query while gloved up or driving
• Offline access — protocols cached on device for poor-signal calls
• AI-assisted answers — ask natural questions, get cited chunks with protocol numbers
• EMS vocabulary — understands RSI, STEMI, CHF, ROSC, LVAD, and 150+ abbreviations
• Drug reference — dosing, contraindications, and FDA linkouts for 90+ EMS medications
• Bookmarks — save protocols you pull often
• Dark mode — readable in the rig at night
COVERAGE AT LAUNCH
Los Angeles County DHS (full prehospital care manual, 300/500/1200 series, treatment protocols, reference material). Additional LEMSAs across California, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Ohio are queryable. More jurisdictions ship weekly.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Select your agency at sign-up
2. Type or speak a query ("epi dose peds anaphylaxis")
3. Get the exact protocol section with citations like [Protocol #1309]
4. Tap through to the full chunk, bookmark it, or read the source PDF
WHO IT'S FOR
Field paramedics, EMTs, AEMTs, flight medics, EMS educators, FTOs, new hires studying for orientation, and medics floating between agencies who need a clean switch between protocol sets.
NOT MEDICAL ADVICE
Protocol Guide is a clinical guideline lookup tool. It surfaces protocols published by government LEMSAs. It does not replace your agency's current standing orders, your medical director, online medical control, or your own judgment. Verify every piece of information against your agency's official manual before acting on it.
SUBSCRIPTION
Free tier includes unlimited protocol lookup and bookmarks.
Pro ($9.99/month) unlocks:
• AI-assisted queries with Claude Sonnet
• Multi-query fusion for medication dosing
• Enhanced accuracy mode for pediatric and contraindication checks
• Priority search latency
• Unlimited voice queries
Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
TRUST
Every protocol chunk in Protocol Guide traces back to a public-domain manual published by a government LEMSA. Source PDFs, publication dates, and protocol numbers are visible on every result. No crowd-sourced content. No opaque edits.

REVIEWER NOTES — PROTOCOL GUIDE 1.0
Thank you for reviewing Protocol Guide. Below is the context you'll need to evaluate the app quickly.
---
WHAT THE APP DOES
Protocol Guide is a reference lookup tool for credentialed paramedics and EMTs. It surfaces clinical guideline chunks from the user's local EMS agency's published protocol manual and lets the user search them by keyword, natural language, or voice.
It is a reference tool. It does not provide medical advice, make recommendations, or replace the user's agency standing orders, medical director, or online medical control. The user is a credentialed provider who verifies every result against their agency's official manual before acting.
---
CONTENT SOURCE — PUBLIC GOVERNMENT RECORDS
All protocol content in Protocol Guide is sourced from manuals published by Local Emergency Medical Services Agencies (LEMSAs). LEMSAs are government bodies (county or regional) that set the clinical standing orders for prehospital care providers operating in their jurisdiction.
These manuals are public records. Examples:
• Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, EMS Agency — Prehospital Care Manual (https://dhs.lacounty.gov/emergency-medical-services-agency/)
• New York State Department of Health — BLS and ALS Statewide Protocols
• Pennsylvania Department of Health — BLS/ALS/IALS Statewide Protocols
• Ohio Department of Public Safety — EMS Guidelines
Protocol Guide displays the protocol number, source LEMSA name, and publication date on every result. Every chunk is traceable back to the publishing agency's PDF.
---
INTENDED USER
The user is a credentialed field provider — paramedic, AEMT, EMT, RN, flight medic, or EMS educator. They are certified by their state and credentialed by a medical director to operate under the protocols the app displays. The app supplements, not replaces, their training and their agency's current orders.

| Category | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cartoon or Fantasy Violence | None |
| Realistic Violence | None |

Rationale for Medical/Treatment Infrequent/Mild: The app displays clinical guideline references (medication dosing, procedural steps) published by government EMS agencies. Content is reference material for credentialed providers, not instructional for laypersons.
Expected rating: 17+ (Medical/Treatment info usually triggers 17+ on Apple's rubric).
Does your app contain, display, or access third-party content? Yes.
Statement:
Protocol Guide displays clinical protocol manuals published by government Local Emergency Medical Services Agencies (LEMSAs) — for example, the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services EMS Agency, the New York State Department of Health, the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and the Ohio Department of Public Safety. These manuals are public records published by government bodies. Protocol Guide does not modify the clinical content — it chunks and indexes it for fast reference. Every result is cited with the source agency, protocol number, and publication date.
User-generated content is limited to private bookmarks. No user can publish, edit, or share protocol content.
Do you have all necessary rights to the content? Yes — content is public-domain government-published reference material.
Does your app use encryption? Yes — standard HTTPS (TLS) for all network traffic and iOS keychain for credential storage.
Does your app qualify for any of the exemptions provided in Category 5, Part 2 of the U.S. Export Administration Regulations? Yes — uses only standard encryption provided by iOS and HTTPS. No proprietary cryptographic implementations.
Info.plist key:
<key>ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption</key>
<false/>Statement for App Review:
Protocol Guide uses only the standard encryption provided by iOS (HTTPS/TLS for network transit, Keychain Services for credential storage). No proprietary or non-exempt cryptography is implemented. ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption is set to false in Info.plist.
