Mobilize Rescue is a healthcare technology company based in upstate New York, offering intelligent first aid kits designed to help bystanders respond effectively in medical emergencies. Now a part of ZOLL Medical Corporation, Mobilize Rescue’s product line includes a range of kits—from a compact lightweight kit to a comprehensive kit that includes custom tablets preloaded with interactive rescue guidance software.
Mobilize Rescue partnered with Solvative to transform their first aid kits into intelligent, app-powered emergency response systems. The goal was to create a digital-first experience that could guide anyone—regardless of medical training—through high-stress rescue situations with confidence.
Solvative developed a suite of native mobile applications and backend systems that delivered dynamic, condition-based rescue workflows, real-time inventory tracking, and automated supply replenishment. The result was a scalable and reliable solution that redefined how first aid can be delivered, monitored, and maintained in the field.
Solvative and Mobilize Rescue joined forces to build a scalable, intelligent rescue platform combining real-time workflows, automation, and thoughtful design to revolutionize emergency response. This collaboration transformed traditional first aid into a guided digital experience that empowers anyone, anywhere, to take confident, life-saving action when every second counts.
The Challenge
Prior to partnering with Solvative, Mobilize Rescue’s first aid response system relied heavily on printed, static graphic charts. These were:
Static and Hard-to-Follow Guides – Mobilize’s printed charts were difficult to interpret during emergencies, especially for untrained responders under pressure.
Limited Scalability – The existing system couldn’t adapt across different kit sizes or emergency use cases.
No Automation or Tracking – There was no way to monitor which supplies were used or automatically reorder depleted items.
Complex Emergency Workflows – JSON-based logic flows had to dynamically adjust to user inputs and medical conditions—requiring precision and exhaustive QA.
Reliability Under Pressure – The app had to remain stable and available at all times—failure wasn’t an option when lives were at stake.
The Solution
Solvative designed and built two separate native mobile applications—one for phones and one specifically for custom tablets used in compact as well as comprehensive kits.
Digital-First Emergency Response – Paper guides were replaced with intuitive, guided workflows that assist users step-by-step in real time.
Smarter Inventory Management – Automated tracking and replenishment ensured every kit stayed fully stocked and ready.
Empowered Bystanders – Users without medical training could act confidently and accurately during critical moments.
Improved Scalability and Performance – The system seamlessly supports multiple kit formats and device types without compromising reliability.
The Result
Streamlined Emergency Response – The new digital workflows replaced static paper charts, guiding users clearly and calmly through critical steps.
Real-Time Inventory Visibility – Automated tracking and replenishment kept every kit stocked and ready for use.
Higher Confidence and Usability – The intuitive design empowered bystanders with no medical background to respond effectively in emergencies.
Scalable Digital Ecosystem – A flexible architecture allowed easy deployment across multiple kit types and device configurations.
Increased Adoption and Sales – The enhanced digital experience boosted customer confidence, driving higher kit sales and repeat orders.
Long-Term Client Partnership – The success of this project laid the foundation for continued collaboration with Zoll Medical on future emergency response solutions.
Introduced adaptive, logic-based rescue paths that respond dynamically to user inputs and emergency conditions, guiding bystanders step-by-step to deliver accurate, timely first aid.
Built a robust, scalable digital foundation designed for continuous uptime, ensuring the system performs flawlessly across all devices when every second matters in life-saving situations.
By turning static, paper-based emergency guides into intelligent digital workflows, Solvative helped Mobilize Rescue—and later Zoll—deliver a modern first aid experience that saves lives and drives operational efficiency. Our empathetic approach, technical expertise, and healthcare domain knowledge not only solved their core challenges but also unlocked long-term growth and innovation opportunities.
