Full localization across the interface, spoken audio, drug names, action labels, and PDF summaries. Terminology is guided by each region's national resuscitation council so the terms match what your council teaches.
Translation note: the source terminology comes from each region's published guidelines, but the translations themselves are computer-generated drafts and are not a substitute for clinician review. Spot something off? Let us know at iharig.com/contact.

Share Crew, Agency, and Case Data Between Devices
Extra Hands moves roster data, agency configurations, and case history directly between devices using any file-sharing method you already use (AirDrop, email, a USB drive, your preferred messaging app). Nothing passes through our servers or a third-party sync service. You don't need an account.
What you can share
- A single crew member with their stats. Useful when a provider moves to a new agency.
- A whole agency. The department profile, its crew roster, everyone's stats, and case history so the receiving device can run analytics right away instead of waiting to accumulate sessions.
- A single case as a CSV for QI review or as a PDF case summary.
How duplicates are handled
Each crew member gets a local identifier generated from their name, crew ID, and date of birth. That identifier is what travels in the shared file; the date of birth itself never leaves the device that created the record. On import, matching identifiers merge cleanly. The same person doesn't get duplicated across devices. Two different people who happen to share a name don't get silently merged either.
Cases carry their own case ID, so duplicate imports are detected and skipped. An import preview shows exactly what will change before anything is written.
For CSV imports that reference crew members the receiving device doesn't know yet, a match-or-create dialog surfaces each unmatched name. You decide per name whether to match an existing member, create a new one, or skip. Nothing is auto-created.
Why this matters
Your roster and case history stay current across shifts and departments without a cloud account. Dates of birth and raw case event data never leave your device through our servers. We don't run a sync service and have no copy of your data.
Backup and Data Safety
Everything is stored on your device and included in your regular phone backups (iCloud on iOS, Google Auto Backup on Android). Restoring a backup to a new device brings it all back.
For the most complete backup, use the agency export feature. An agency export bundles your crew roster, stats, case history, branding, and library documents into a single file you can send to yourself or another device. This is also how you move between platforms (iOS to Android or the reverse) since phone backups don't cross over.
We have no copy of your data. There is no cloud sync and no account. If you lose your device without a backup, we cannot recover anything.
