Rescue + Ally
In austere environments, help comes from those who are therewhen it’s needed most.
The first of its kind for professional rescuers, outdoor guides, everyday adventurers and grassroots community responders, Rescue Ally is a wilderness medicine app built for those who act when resources are far away.
From primary assessment to final handoff, it keeps care clear and organized in a SOAP Note, creating accurate records you can trust anywhere. The result is stronger teams, faster coordination and a better chance for every patient.
Your voice matters. We want your feedback on Rescue Ally before it launches.

View the event detailsWhen emergencies unfold far from help, chaos takes over.
Details are forgotten, timelines blur and critical information gets lost between rescuers, especially when fatigue, weather and terrain stretch a response into hours or days.
In these moments, the difference between confusion and coordination often comes down to how well information is captured and shared.Without a clear system, teams work from memory, missteps multiply and patient care suffers.
Rescue Ally works as hard as you do. It gives responders a framework that holds up under pressure, keeping the story of care complete, organized and ready to guide every decision along the way.

Guidance you can trust
Rescue Ally is produced by Backcountry Pulse, a world-class wilderness medicine education organization based in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Backcountry Pulse was built on the belief that lifesaving skills belong to everyone. We design and teach evidence-based wilderness medicine with an emphasis on compassion for patients AND rescuers. We believe rescuers come from and belong to every community - and that communities are made stronger when people learn lifesaving and leadership skills.
That's why Rescue Ally is designed to be used by people at all training levels:
- WFA (Wilderness First Aid)
- WFR (Wilderness First Responder)
- WEMT (Wilderness EMT)
- Any non-wilderness medical professional (EMT, Paramedic, RN, MD)
- Even without training, the step-by-step assessment walkthrough and comprehensive field medicine guide would be useful - but we always encourage people to get the proper education.
Every feature of Rescue Ally is forged in real rescue, shaped by cold nights, long carries, and the shared goal of building capable responders and resilient communities.
We are committed to complete data privacy for you and your patients. The app is HIPAA compliant with a clear and simple Privacy Policy. Paient data is stored securely and will never be sold, period.
