What MedJot is
MedJot is a clinical documentation tool for pre-hospital and urgent care clinicians. You work through an assessment by tapping findings; MedJot writes the corresponding report text as you go, in a panel beside the form. When you are finished you copy it into your trust's ePRF system or export it as a PDF.
It runs in a browser. There is no app store download, no installer and no software for anyone to deploy — though it can be installed to a home screen, which is the way most people use it. See Installing MedJot.
Who it is for
Paramedics, technicians, nurses, ACPs, doctors and students documenting patient encounters — most often in an ambulance service, urgent treatment centre, GP practice or hospital setting. It is designed for the situation where you are documenting on a phone or tablet, possibly one-handed, possibly with no signal, and possibly while something else is happening.
What it does
| Builds the record as you assess | Findings tapped in the form become formatted report text immediately. There is no "generate" button. |
| Four presentation types | Adult medical, child medical, mental health and cardiac arrest, each with the sections and tools that presentation needs. See Presentation types. |
| Scores and bundles | NEWS2, GCS, Wells PE/DVT, AMT-10, MMSE, PHQ-9, TICLS, 4Hs/4Ts, the Clinical Frailty Scale, and guided falls, hypoglycaemia and stroke bundles. |
| Works with no signal | The whole clinical workflow runs offline. See Working offline. |
| Optional AI drafting | Differentials, an ATMIST pre-alert, a GP SBAR handover, safeguarding wording and rewrites of your own free text. See AI overview. |
| Exports | Copy to clipboard, a clinical PDF, and a separate reflective-practice PDF for a CPD portfolio. |
What it deliberately does not do
Knowing the boundaries is as useful as knowing the features, and each of these is a decision rather than a gap.
It is not a drug formulary and holds no drug data. There is no dose calculator. There was one, and it was removed: a dose to give is a clinical decision that belongs to JRCALC or the BNF, not to a documentation app. The overdose calculator does arithmetic on a dose already taken, and any threshold it compares against is one you typed in from TOXBASE or NPIS.
It is not a decision support system. The AI tools draft text from what you have recorded. They are explicitly a first draft for a clinician to check, and nothing they produce reaches a record without you putting it there.
It is not a patient record system, and holds no patient records. There is no server-side store of clinical content to search, audit or subpoena, because clinical data never reaches a server. This is architectural, not a setting — see Data flows.
It does not integrate with trust systems. No ePRF integration, no PAS, no Summary Care Record. The report is built to be copied or exported into whatever you already use, which is what allows MedJot to be used anywhere without an integration project.
The safety rule that shapes everything
Every clinical finding in MedJot has three states, not two:
- Not assessed — the default. Prints nothing.
- Positive — the finding is present.
- Negative — the finding was assessed and is absent.
An unassessed finding is never printed as normal, and never counted as normal by a score. This is why NEWS2 shows no total until all seven parameters are recorded, why the GCS shows no sum until all three components are set, and why the calculators tell you what is missing instead of producing a number. A record that quietly asserts you checked something you did not is worse than one with a gap in it.
Who makes it
MedJot is developed and operated by Swyftscale, which also makes ACTrack. The two share a single sign-in — one account works in both — but nothing else. MedJot Premium does not carry across to ACTrack, and ACTrack Premium does not carry into MedJot. See Your account and profile.
