Firstline is a health technology company with a mission to help solve humanity’s greatest health challenges by bringing people and knowledge together. We pursue this through web and mobile software that accelerates the flow of local experts' clinical knowledge to frontline healthcare providers. Commonly known as clinical decision support, our platform also facilitates previously impossible levels of knowledge transfer between otherwise disconnected clinical experts everywhere in the world.
We are leaders in information design and technology, and have deep experience in applying those skills to communication of vetted clinical guidance to the point of care. Our core clinical competency is Infectious Diseases, and AMR in particular.
Fundamental to all we do is the belief that the clinician at the point of care should have the best tools, and the expert local knowledge they need to make the best treatment decisions. We strive to build software that elevates our values: trust, beauty, clarity, usability, and impact. A relentless focus on providing an exceptional user experience has enabled us to grow rapidly through word of mouth and referrals. Healthcare is famously a design-free zone, where the needs of the clinician are frequently deferred. Firstline has always stood out as understanding that good design is not simply a competitive advantage, but a vital ingredient in the effective dissemination of knowledge.
We work with organisations ranging from a single hospital distributing local clinical guidance, through to the World Health Organization distributing apex global infectious disease information.
Firstline is the lander that every clinical moonshot needs. We provide the right knowledge, at the right moment, to clinicians at the point of care.
Founded in 2015, Firstline is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, and is privately held by its founders and employees.
