You’ll never had to baby this VL. No case. No battery. No screen. Plug in > Intubate > Dispose.

Every medic has a starting point. We’re grateful to Eastern Kentucky University for welcoming us and for the opportunity to support the students preparing to answer the call. More to come 💪🏻

Thank you LEX 18 for covering yesterday's events at Eastern Kentucky University. We are so grateful.

Tuesday, April 7 at 11 AM | Posey Auditorium, EKU

IntuBlade CEO and founder Dr. Andrew Napier is coming back to Eastern.

Army Combat Medic. Purple Heart recipient. Pat Tillman Scholar. ER physician. Founder.

He’ll walk through what actually shaped that journey and what it taught him about building something that matters.

If you’re in EMS, healthcare, business, or just curious how real ideas come to life, it’s worth showing up.

We’re grateful to EKU for making this happen. And we’ve got more planned for that day that we can’t wait to share.

See you in Richmond.

Join us for a guest lecture with Dr. Andrew Napier on Tuesday, April 7 at 11 a.m. in Posey Auditorium, located inside the Stratton Building. Hear him share his journey from a biomedical/pre-med student at to Army Combat Medic, ER physician and now founder and CEO of IntuBlade. He’ll share how those experiences shaped his work at the intersection of healthcare, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Whether you’re an EMS or healthcare major, a business student interested in entrepreneurship and startups, or simply curious about turning real-world experience into impactful solutions, this session is for you! We’ll see you there!

His name was Drew Hughes. He was 13 years old.

His father, David Hughes, has spent the last thirteen years making sure that name means something. Our CEO/Founder sat with him recently as part of IntuBlade Chats. What he shared stayed with us.

We wrote about it. Link in the comments.

Do it for Drew.

At Stanford Health Care last week, Dr. DuCanto led a hands on SALAD airway training with flight medics.

In a room like this, one thing stands out: the airway does not stay clean.

25 to 33% of patients vomit during CPR. And once that happens, everything changes.

This is why the tool in the kit matters.

Every great provider has a footage moment they’d rather forget.

And a second one that showed them exactly how far they’d come.

IntuBlade captures both automatically every time with no setup required. The moment you connect, it’s already recording. When you’re done, it’s already uploaded.

For providers, that’s growth.
For medical directors, that’s data.
For your program, that’s proof.

No login. No manual upload. No extra steps. Better always start with better feedback.

Meet Lake Delta Fire Department.

This volunteer paramedic rescue in Oneida County, NY covers an Air Force base flight path, a Christian youth camp welcoming hundreds of families every weekend, and a busy year-round recreational lake. Seven paramedics. Every call, first on scene.

They were already doing extraordinary work. This spring, we had the honor of making sure their tools matched their commitment.

Through IntuBlade's National Airway Access Initiative, Lake Delta received video laryngoscopy devices, training, and analytics access, at no cost to the department. They became our first domestic Community Partner.

In the words of Medical Chief Paul Taylor:

“Normally this advanced technology wouldn’t be feasible with our limited budget. IntuBlade devices will enable our Paramedics to provide cutting edge technology quickly to the residents and visitors within our protection area.”

This is what access looks like. This is why we do this.

Almost 400 departments.

We think about that number a lot.

Not because of what it says about us. Because of what it says about them.

Hospital teams. Flight crews. EMS. Tactical medicine. Every one of them showing up to the calls that don’t wait, the moments that don’t forgive, the airways that have to be right the first time.

This was built from a real loss. We keep building it for every provider who deserves to see exactly what’s happening and know exactly how they did.

Almost 400. Rising every day.

Because your mission is clear.

RedSTAR is training Georgetown-Scott County EMS providers in wilderness medical special operations, putting VL in their hands before they ever need it in the field.

“Since incorporating IntuBlade, it is usually the favorite.”

Grateful to be part of the work they’re doing.

Antlers Fire/EMS has a 100% first-time pass rate with IntuBlade.

Their Fire Chief is also a 19 year paramedic. When feedback like this comes in like this it's a reminder of why we built this device in the first place.

That's the whole mission, right there and we are proud to support this incredible team.
