In 2019 Airbus hosted Critical App Challenge to create mission & business critical apps for the Tactilon Dabat, an Android smartphone with Tetra radio (e.g VIRVE, RAKEL, BOSNET) in one device.

Dabat aims to become the first platform in security and industrial solutions e.g rescue services, police officers and firefighters.

Mesensei team was keen to take on the challenge to design mobile solutions, which help emergency workers to work more effectively and save lives.

Our angle was to think how professional responders can benefit from cross-organisational resourcing, and by training, mobilising & empowering volunteers to support them.

Our team added support for Dabat so that Mesensei decentralised platform can now be used to build critical apps for the Dabat ecosystem. Mesensei community design team also created three concepts with ready for deployment mobile app to be used in cases where data protection, operational security and highly effective user experience for field workers are critical factors:

• Cross-institutional consultancy in medical emergencies

• Reservist and volunteer network coordination in disasters and increased readiness

• Rescue, Relief & Recovery platform for resource pooling and kickstarting a local economy
