TriagePing

TriagePing is a mobile + web app that lets patients or caregivers send a structured “pre-arrival” emergency snapshot to participating emergency departments: chief complaint, onset time, vitals (manual or from connected devices), meds/allergies, photos (e.g., rash/wound), and a short symptom checklist. The app generates a standardized SBAR-style summary and a time-stamped QR code the patient can present at check-in, reducing repetitive intake and speeding prioritization. On the hospital side, a lightweight web dashboard routes incoming cases to a triage nurse queue with configurable alerts (e.g., chest pain + diaphoresis). It’s not a diagnosis tool; it’s a data-capture and routing tool designed to fit existing workflows. Realistically, adoption is the hard part—so the MVP focuses on a single hospital pilot and measurable throughput metrics (door-to-triage time, left-without-being-seen rate).
