Can Handtevy Mobile be for pediatric and adult populations?

Yes, absolutely! Handtevy is the national leader in point-of-care emergency technology that delivers lifesaving information for both pediatric and adult patients when time is critical. Handtevy Mobile provides clinicians with access to accurate medication dosing, equipment sizing, CPR timers, protocol sets, and point-of-care checklists for every patient.

Do I need WiFi to use Handtevy Mobile?

After the initial download, the basic functionality of the app does not require a WiFi connection, which means you can use it offline. However, to transmit records to your ePCR (Electronic Patient Care Report), an active WiFi connection is necessary. This is to ensure that data can be transferred securely and reliably.

Can I purchase Handtevy Mobile for my personal device?

Handtevy Mobile is an enterprise application and not designed for individual purchase. Once your organization has granted you access, you can use Handtevy Mobile on any personal device. Each Handtevy Mobile account is tailored to adhere to the formularies and protocols of the associated organization and is approved for use by the respective administration.

For pediatric medication dosing, is weight estimation based on age or length?

The Handtevy System is a hybrid system, based on BOTH age and length. Studies have shown that age-based weight determination is statistically equivalent to length-based methods.  The Handtevy System provides you with both options, yet recommends an age-first estimation allowing providers to begin their treatment plan prior to patient contact. However, the length-based tape should be used on children of short or tall stature or those with chronic illnesses to determine estimated weight. 

Does the Handtevy System comply with PALS guidelines?

The Handtevy System is compliant with nationally accepted advanced life support recommendations, adhering specifically to the guideline that recommends a length-based tape.  In addition, our team of EMS and pediatric emergency medicine experts stand ready to assist EMS and hospital systems in maintaining compliance with the latest evidence-based recommendations.
