American Red Cross announces Resuscitation app for real-time clinical cupport

The American Red Cross is launching a new chapter in digital lifesaving. Its long-trusted training programs in adult, pediatric, and neonatal resuscitation are about to get a serious upgrade, thanks to a new mobile app built with Redivus Health. Think of it as a pocket coach that never blinks. As Dom Tolli put it, this is "the trusted digital solution for clinicians delivering real-time resuscitation care."

The app will sit inside the Resuscitation Suite family of programs and aims to shift how frontline teams learn, practice, and respond when seconds matter.

How does it work?

The Resuscitation Suite App relies on Redivus Health's award-winning clinical platform. It pulls evidence-based Red Cross guidelines out of dense manuals and drops them straight into a clean mobile interface designed for the rush of real events.

Inside the app, clinicians can tap into:

• Instant access to Red Cross code cards and reference cards
• Step-by-step prompts for BLS, ALS, PALS, and NALS
• Heads up timers that keep compression cycles and medication delivery on track
• Real-time documentation that produces a situation report as the event unfolds

It works somewhat like having a seasoned mentor at your side. It guides. It nudges. It helps you stay inside protocol when adrenaline is high and the room is loud.

Why does it matter?

Resuscitation is a high-stakes craft. Even trained clinicians can stray from protocol when chaos ensues. A tool that steadies the process can change outcomes. Dr. Jeff Dunn of Redivus Health captured it plainly. "Together, we're combining clinical expertise and technology to create tools that clinicians need to deliver high-quality care anytime and anywhere."

There is data to back this up. A medical center using the Redivus platform saw its survival-to-discharge rate after cardiac arrest rise from 28% to 40%. That is not a rounding error. That is a real shift in lives saved.

The app aims to help teams practice with the same structure they will need in the field. When training mirrors reality, muscle memory sticks. When memory sticks, care improves.

The context

For years, the Red Cross has been a leader in resuscitation education. Its guidelines power classrooms, simulations, and hospital refresher cycles across the country. However, healthcare settings are evolving faster than binders and laminated cards can keep pace. The collaboration with Redivus Health reflects a larger trend in medicine where digital decision support is becoming as natural as a stethoscope.

Redivus Health, founded by physicians, has been building tools that guide teams through the fog of cardiac arrests and other critical events. The Red Cross has a massive reach and decades of experience. Together, they aim to modernize the transition from resuscitation education to real-world action.

As Tolli put it, the app "transforms training and real-world application." It is scheduled to launch in February 2026 on major app stores and signals a broader shift. Lifesaving knowledge is no longer bound to the classroom. It comes into the clinician's hands right when the heart stops.
