Rescue Ally
Field Medicine Documentation
Free · In‑App Purchases
New: try out Scribe! Record voice input from yourself or your patient and Scribe will fill out a SOAP Note.
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 while creating accurate records you can trust anywhere. The result is stronger teams, faster coordination and a better chance for every patient.
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.
Built on internationally accepted, evidence-based wilderness medicine guidelines, 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.
Whatever your level of training - WFR, WFA, WEMT, or non-wilderness medical training, Rescue Ally is there with assessment guidance, critical reference information, SOAP Note documentation, and ATMIST/reporting tools to keep the rescue on track.
No bars, no problem. Always ready, no signal required - just like our rescuers.
This is a paid app. There is a short free trial. Payment options are presented during sign-up and following the free trial.

Ratings & Reviews
Scribe (Preview): Fill out most of a patient assessment by speaking. Record the patient interview or narrate as you work, and Scribe transcribes it and pulls out vitals, chief complaints, SAMPLE history, and treatments for you to review. Speech recognition and extraction both run entirely on your phone, so it works with no cell service. Free while in preview.
Guide Search (Preview): Search the field guide directly, or search using the observations recorded in your assessment to find guide information relevant to your situation.
Redesigned screens and new assessment record-keeping fields for medications, vitals, and refusal of care.
