How we calculate your time

We don't just show the on-site wait: we add it to your drive time to reveal the real time before you're seen.

01
Tell us where you are

Locate yourself with one tap or enter an address.

02
We read the pressure in real time

We measure the waiting room's current pressure and compare it to the facility's history, then add your drive time.

03
You see the real time

Emergency rooms are ranked from fastest to slowest — care included.

Sample calculation · Hôpital de Verdun
Waiting room's current pressure90%
Compared to this hospital's history≈ 37 min
+ drive by car (Google Routes)14 min
Before care51 min
Real-time pressure, compared to history

We don't rely on a simple day-old average: the waiting room's current load is matched against this hospital's past trends. If pressure runs above normal, the estimate climbs; otherwise it drops. The drive to you is then added on top.

  • How do you plan to travel?
  • Is it a specialty (pediatrics, cardiology…)?
  • Ambulatory case or on a stretcher?
  • What matters most: being seen quickly, or the drive?

They used it

My son broke his wrist on a Saturday night. In two minutes I saw which ER would take him fastest — we avoided a three-hour wait.

As a caregiver, I check Temps Urgences before every visit. Knowing what to expect changes everything.

A simple, honest tool. It promises nothing: it shows the ministry's numbers, period.
