Designing an emergency app built for solo athletes
Bevalix, a French healthtech startup, set out to keep solo athletes safe during outdoor activity—whether injured, fainting, or threatened—with a mobile app that detects distress and alerts nearby responders. In just 60 days, Agilno led a discovery and UX sprint to clarify the MVP and design a field-ready prototype that brought the concept to life and set the stage for a scalable safety platform.
What we built
A high-fidelity mobile prototype, ready for real emergencies
A high-fidelity mobile prototype balancing lightweight, easy-to-use design with the ability to make an impact in real emergencies — with GPS-enabled alerts, responder tracking, and built-in first-aid training designed to perform under pressure.
The vision
A safety net for solo athletes
Every year, thousands of solo athletes face medical emergencies with no one nearby to help. In France, EMS response times average 15 minutes — a delay that can be life-threatening in cases like sudden cardiac arrest. We were brought in to translate Phase 1 from vision into a usable, stress-tested mobile experience.
Challenge
Solo athletes face real risks that often go unnoticed
Risks like cardiac events, injury, disorientation – even when someone is nearby, most people don't know what to do: 6 in 10 emergencies have a witness, only half of witnesses take action, and 70% of victims rely solely on EMS. Bevalix wanted to shift those odds by activating responders and training users with in-app content — but the experience needed to be fast, intuitive, and calming under pressure.
Our approach
A 60-day discovery and strategy sprint
Agilno led a 60-day sprint to define the product strategy and build a development blueprint. We focused on user personas (solo athletes and trained responders), emergency journeys (like fainting mid-run or triggering an alert during distress), market research (gaps in healthtech tools, wearable overlap, and community-responder models), and a clear, high-impact MVP feature set designed to evolve with future wearable integration. Throughout, we asked: can a user under stress navigate this in seconds, not minutes?
