Emergency Q is a free iPhone application developed by Healthcare Applications Limited that aims to empower non-emergency patients by providing them with real-time wait and treatment times for non-emergency patients at their nearest participating hospital Emergency Department. This information is then compared with the nearest participating urgent care (Accident and Medical) clinic to help patients make informed decisions about where to seek medical care for non-emergency conditions. Additionally, Emergency Q provides patients with an understanding of what constitutes an emergency medical condition to help them make informed choices about where to seek urgent medical care.

The application is designed to put patients at the center of the decision-making process about where to seek medical care for non-emergency conditions. By providing readily understood, real-time data, patients can save time by joining the queue at their after-hours medical provider from wherever they are. Emergency Q is an excellent tool for anyone seeking urgent medical care and looking to make informed decisions about where to go based on wait and treatment times.
