Red-Flag Scanner (educational, not a medical device)

Paste your de-identified patient picture — vitals, labs, assessment findings, intake/output, notes — and/or snap a photo of a monitor or lab printout. The scanner surfaces the findings published early-warning and escalation guidelines treat as red flags, ranked by urgency, each with a plain-English reason and what the literature says about escalation. Grounded in NEWS2, MEWS, Surviving Sepsis 2021, ACLS, stroke and chest-pain guidelines — each flag names its source.

Before you scan

This is an educational tool — not a diagnosis, an order set, or a medical device. It can miss things and can be wrong. It does not replace your assessment, your provider, or your facility's protocols.
If your patient looks unstable, or your gut says something is wrong, call for help / rapid response first, then use this.
Do NOT enter or photograph anything that could identify a patient — no names, MRNs, DOBs, faces, or name bands. Follow your facility's privacy and photography policy.
Any photo is re-encoded in your browser before sending (removing GPS/EXIF), processed for the single scan, and not stored.

I understand this is educational only — not a diagnosis or medical device — and the information I'm entering contains no patient identifiers (PHI).
