Our story
We started PriorityU after a code that didn't go well.
In November 2023, our co-founder — a paramedic with 14 years on the truck — lost a 39-year-old to a refractory VF arrest. The protocol was right there. In the binder. In a PDF. On an iPad somewhere. None of it was in his hands during the third defib cycle, when he needed to verify the Amiodarone redose.
He went home that night and started writing what would become PriorityU EMS Protocols on his kitchen table. The thesis was simple: medics shouldn't have to translate static documents into kinetic action under stress. The software should already know the protocol. The math should already be done. The chart should already be writing itself.
Three months later we signed our first state — Texas — with Dr. Karina Reyes, an EMS medical director who had been quietly writing software for her own agency in her off-hours. She became our co-founder.
Clinical first, software second.
Every line of code is reviewed by a practicing medic or medical director. We don't ship a feature unless it would survive the back of a moving ambulance.
Offline is not optional.
If your tablet loses signal at the worst moment, that's the moment our software has to work. Everything is local-first. The cloud is the convenience, not the constraint.
The medic owns the chart.
Your run log is yours. We export NEMSIS, we don't lock you in. Medical directors get clean QA — we never get to sell your data.
