The Genesis of Open Rescue: When AI Becomes a Vital Ally in the Search for Missing Persons

Every year, thousands of people go missing, and in these critical moments, every second counts.

How can we make search efforts faster, more precise, and more effective? It was around this crucial question that Open Rescue was born.

A Pressing Need: Innovation in the Service of Rescue Missions

Faced with the urgency of missing person searches, our team identified a major gap: the lack of technological tools capable of truly supporting rescue teams.

These observations were reinforced by feedback from professionals at the Service Départemental d’Incendie et de Secours of Haute-Savoie (SDIS 74). Their field experience was invaluable in understanding the challenges they face and shaping the development of our solution.

Open Rescue: A Technological Answer to a Human Challenge

Open Rescue was designed to rapidly analyze vast areas, providing crucial insights to rescue teams on the ground.

Powered by advanced artificial intelligence, this solution processes precise and diverse data to quickly identify clues or traces of missing persons.

Rather than replacing human expertise, Open Rescue is an assistive tool built to enhance and multiply the effectiveness of rescue operations.

This project was developed in partnership with search and rescue experts, including SDIS 74, who played a key role in defining the requirements and validating every step of the process. This close collaboration ensured that the solution was perfectly adapted to real-world challenges.

A Mission with a Human Impact

Beyond its technological dimension, Open Rescue embodies a clear vision: using innovation to serve humanity.

By enabling rescue teams to respond more quickly and with greater precision, we hope to directly contribute to saving lives and providing much-needed answers to families and loved ones.

Open Rescue: An Innovation Looking to the Future

The story of Open Rescue is only just beginning.

We remain committed to continuously improving this tool, always working in close collaboration with rescue teams.

Together, we aim to build a future where technology seamlessly integrates with the most critical human missions.

With Open Rescue, artificial intelligence becomes an essential ally in the race against time during search and rescue missions. A mission we carry forward with passion—for safety, for lives, for the future.
