PARATUS Medical Inc.

What PARATUS Medical Inc. does

PARATUS Medical Inc. is a Montréal-based medical technology company that builds an AI-assisted emergency response platform for hospitals, pre-hospital services, and high-risk or austere environments. The company is the developer of A.D.A.M.S. (Advanced Astronaut Medical Support), a deterministic natural-language assistant that retrieves validated protocols, procedures, and checklists from a curated, evidence-based medical corpus rather than generating free-form answers, a design choice intended to ensure clinical accuracy in safety-critical moments. The platform is delivered as a web application and native iOS/Android app with offline capability, and it is segmented into industry-specific solutions spanning healthcare, emergency response and public safety, high-risk industries and remote operations, and specialized medical services including space, maritime, military, and commercial aviation.

The company's technology originated in the Canadian Space Agency's Deep Space Healthcare Challenge, which PARATUS (then EZResus) won in March 2024, and has since been augmented by a partnership with Mila, the Québec Artificial Intelligence Institute, for AI research collaboration and by an integration with Thornhill Medical's MOVES SLC portable ventilator. Beyond the core A.D.A.M.S. assistant, PARATUS offers institution-wide documentation and feedback-loop tooling intended to support protocol review, training, and continuous readiness improvement.

PARATUS operates a hybrid go-to-market model. Institutional customers access the platform through quote-based, multi-year enterprise subscriptions sold via direct sales, while individual practitioners and learners download the app from iOS and Google Play under a freemium model that is free for two years for medical students and residents. Named customers and partners include the Canadian Space Agency, Airmedic, FlightBridgeED, Dynamic Simulation, Thornhill Medical, and the Whapmagoostui community. The firm is privately held, founder-led (CEO Frédéric Lemaire, COO Jean-Francois Couture), operates with roughly 11 employees, and rebranded from EZResus / Applications MD to PARATUS in April 2025 ahead of its December 2025 platform launch.

Broad incumbents

• UpToDate: UpToDate (Wolters Kluwer) is the dominant clinical decision support platform globally, used by the vast majority of US hospitals for evidence-based guidance — the primary incumbent Paratus must displace or coexist with in hospital sales cycles.
• DynaMed: DynaMed (EBSCO) is a long-established clinical decision support reference used by clinicians and institutions for evidence-based point-of-care guidance, with deep penetration into hospital systems — competes with Paratus for the same institutional budgets.

Direct peers

• MDCalc: MDCalc is a widely adopted clinical calculator and decision tool used by emergency physicians and hospitalists for point-of-care calculations and risk scores — directly comparable to Paratus's step-by-step clinical guidance use case.
• BMJ Best Practice: BMJ Best Practice is an evidence-based clinical decision support tool widely used internationally by clinicians for diagnosis and treatment guidance — overlaps with Paratus in serving emergency medicine practitioners.
• VisualDx: VisualDx is a clinical decision support system used at the point of care by emergency departments and clinicians, focused on improving diagnostic accuracy through structured visual and evidence-based content — a close analogue to Paratus's evidence-based emergency protocols.
• Pulsara: Pulsara is a real-time emergency response coordination platform connecting EMS, hospitals, and specialty teams during time-sensitive care — directly comparable to Paratus's emergency response and pre-hospital use cases.
• PEPID: PEPID provides clinical decision support content and drug/dosing references tailored for emergency medicine, paramedics, and point-of-care use — directly comparable to Paratus's validated protocols and emergency-response positioning.
