MD Applications
Our Non Profit Organization
Our mission and values
Helping all clinicians save lives during resuscitation
From the moment the idea appeared in 2013, it was clear that the main mission of the project was to help professionals deliver optimal care to patients in resuscitation situations. In 2019, to crystallize our mission, we founded the non-profit organization MD Applications. Since the very beginning, every decision that we make or functionality that we develop is based on the premise of helping clinicians save lives during resuscitation. User feedback as well as our own personal use of the app during clinical work help us determine what features to develop next. Our ultimate tool is one that will help all clinicians for every aspect of care during the critical first hour of resuscitation.
Multidisciplinary collaboration
Building on our non-profit status, we have welcomed professionals from all fields into our team. After all these years, there are now more than 30 healthcare workers who work voluntarily to add and optimize the content of the application: community pharmacists, pediatric tertiary pharmacists, pediatric intensivists, neonatologists, neonatology nurses, adult intensivists, pediatric emergency physicians, community emergency physicians, respiratory therapists, community and specialty nurses, and advanced paramedics. It is undoubtedly thanks to this varied and complete team that the content of the application is so comprehensive and adapted to the needs of all clinicians, whatever the profession of the person using it. Moreover, each member of our large team has the same decision-making power for the content of the application since we know that each person has their own vision and brings extremely important specific expertise.
Leveraging technology for the benefit of healthcare workers
Creating such a complex technological solution requires, of course, collaboration with a high-level technical team. We have an amazing team of developers with complementary expertise both for the design of the application and for the logic of complex calculations. They work closely with the medical team to bridge the gap between medicine and technology. The medical team brings needs from the field which are then transformed into IT problems to be resolved, then into solutions to be implemented in the application. It is through this unique complementarity that EZResus succeeds in meeting the logistical challenge of resuscitation.
