LikeNow
Early access — Pittsburgh design partners

Event medical ops,
run right.

LikeNow is how a 35-medic group schedules shifts, gets them filled, tracks every credential, documents the concussions a clipboard can't, and hands a tournament director compliance in 60 seconds.

2 hours every Sunday

spent texting medics to cover shifts that should fill themselves

9 different certifications

to track per medic, scattered across email attachments and PDFs

$58K insurance premium

priced on guesses because no one captures the data carriers want

Built for game day

Six things you stop doing on Sundays.

If you currently run schedules in Google Sheets, certifications in a Dropbox folder, and concussion forms in your inbox — every piece below replaces something you already do, badly, today.

Multi-venue scheduling

Import the league's Excel, map columns once, and every game lands on the right venue calendar with the right default pay rate.

One-tap shift pickup

Medics see only the shifts they're credentialed for, accept several at once, and get reminders 24h and 1h before each one.

Credential vault

EMT-B, BLS, state license, background check, SafeSport — all tracked. Auto-expiry reminders at 60 / 30 / 7 days. Expired medics auto-removed from rotation.

Concussion + return-to-play

SCAT-style sideline check, auto parent + school notifications, 6-stage RTP tracker, signed clearance form — paper to PDF, every state's law respected.

Tournament packets in 60 seconds

Pick a tournament, pick your medics, click. Date-anchored compliance PDF lands in the director's inbox before they've finished asking.

Insurance-grade data

Structured injury + exposure data, season after season. Hand it to a broker and watch carriers price you on experience instead of guesses.

Manager dashboard

The view you keep open on event days.

Three zones, top to bottom: what's happening right now, what's coming in the next 72 hours, what's true for the week. Red means tap to act. Green means breathe.

Highest-stakes moment

A concussion protocol that holds up in court.

Every state has a youth concussion law. Enforcement is paper-and-fax. LikeNow gives you a SCAT-style sideline check, automatic parent + school-AT notification, a 6-stage return-to-play tracker, and a signed clearance trail — every entry timestamped, every actor named, every state's rule version-pinned.

  • Red flags trigger 911 prompt + spinal precautions automatically
  • Parent contacted by SMS + call within 4 minutes, acknowledged in 7
  • Documentation packet generated before the medic leaves the bench

How it works

From Excel to event day in an afternoon.

No long onboarding. The thing that takes you the longest is uploading your medics' certs the first time.

1

Import a schedule

Upload the league's Excel. Map "Date / Start / Location" once — LikeNow saves the mapping per customer and your second import is one click.

2

Medics accept

Only eligible medics see each shift. They accept several at once. You stop chasing — coverage takes care of itself.

3

You watch the dashboard

On game day, you open one screen on your phone. Red means tap. Documentation auto-generates as the day happens.

Why LikeNow

Because medics shouldn't run on spreadsheets.

We built LikeNow because we saw a 35-person medic group covering hundreds of youth games every weekend, running everything on a shared Google Sheet, a Dropbox folder, and a group text. Coverage was always one cancellation away from a problem; credentials were always one audit away from a problem; concussions were always one lawsuit away from a problem.

LikeNow is the system that should have existed already.

FAQ

Honest answers to the obvious questions.

When does LikeNow launch?

We're in pre-launch with hand-picked design partners in Pittsburgh. If you're a medic group, youth league, or tournament operator and want to be early — email support@likenow.org and we'll get you on the list.

Do you store patient information?

No. LikeNow stores who medics are, where they were, when they checked in. We do not capture patient names, vitals, treatments, or injury descriptions. The concussion workflow records the protocol's actions, not the athlete's medical record — and we identify athletes by jersey number + team, not name.

How long does it take to set up?

An afternoon for the schedule and venues. The longest part is uploading every medic's credential scans — figure 5 minutes per medic. Once that's in, the system runs forever.

Does LikeNow work for sports beyond hockey and lacrosse?

Yes. We started in the Pittsburgh hockey/lax world because that's where we live, but the model is the same for soccer, football, baseball, rugby, equestrian, and tournament ops. Concussion rules and required credentials vary by state — we map them per state.

What if a medic doesn't have a smartphone?

Every notification works over SMS to a feature phone. Shift acceptance happens by reply. The manager dashboard is the only thing that really wants a screen.

Can the league see our compliance data?

Only what you publish. Tournament packets are explicit one-time shares — generated on demand, scoped to specific dates, time-stamped, and read-only on the receiving side.

What will it cost?

We're still working that out with our design partners. Email us and we'll tell you where we're landing — and design-partner pricing is meaningfully better than launch pricing.

Stop running medic ops out of a spreadsheet.

We're onboarding design partners now. If you run a medic group, a youth league, or a tournament — and you want event medical ops that doesn't depend on your group text — get in touch.
