iStumble Care Sector App
An app for the care sector that saves lives and resources by teaching primary care workers how to pick up patients who have fallen over.
A post-fall check that takes minutes
iStumble walks a carer through a short series of questions and tells them whether the fallen person needs an ambulance.
Prevent Unnecessary Ambulance Call-Outs
The iStumble app is designed for health care workers and carers of the elderly, working to prevent unnecessary ambulance call-outs for falls.
These accidents can be life-threatening for older patients but they can also be completely harmless, and knowing the difference between the two is critical. Through a series of questions, the user can check over their elderly patient before the app determines whether the paramedics are needed or not.
Inside the app
One React Native codebase across iOS and Android, data cached for use offline, and video guidance built into the question flow.
User-Focused Design using React Native for Android and iOS
By building iStumble using Facebook's React Native, the app works on both iOS and Android, ensuring users on either mobile operator can access it. This opens up the platform to a wider audience, creating a larger customer base for our client. React Native also saves time, preventing the app from having to be written twice for both operators and making any future edits easier. The result is a seamless user experience across a range of mobile devices, optimising the app to suit their operator for the best functionality.
To ensure everyone can use the app regardless of their technical expertise, the design is simple and focused on making the process as easy as possible. Navigation is kept to a minimum, with users being able to start checking over their patient after selecting one, large button on the app's homepage, and the text is large, clear, and easy to read. By avoiding over-complicated features and design, the app is more functional and better serves its purpose.
Customisable Offline Caching of Data
As an app that needs to be available to users 24/7, regardless of WiFi or service, data is cached offline. This ensures that it will always work in critical situations, giving users and their families peace of mind that help is always available. Without offline data caching, the app would only work when connected to the internet, which would make it unreliable to those in need.
An admin backend designed for the app allows for customisable steps, which is essential to the app's function. As users proceed through the series of questions, their responses lead them on a different route that eventually provides them with the ultimate decision — whether or not they should call the paramedics. For example, if they select 'Yes' to new back or neck pain, they are immediately redirected to a page that tells them to call the emergency services.
Integrated Video Instructions & Outbound Links
Videos are included within the app, allowing users to get further, visual information on how to deal with a fall. The video player is quick and seamless, allowing users to get the guidance they need without hassle.
The videos assist with the purpose of the app, and act as training at-the-point-of-need, adding more value to users of the app.
In-app links redirect users to the client's webpage, allowing for a further source of information without over-cluttering the app. This helps keep it simple and the main function clear, which is essential as an emergency-use app. The links are embedded in buttons, keeping the app's design clean and simple, and contain call to actions that encourage the user to click them, such as 'Request a Demo'.

What Our Clients Say
Scorchsoft helped us take our idea for an app and make it a reality. Everything from the planning meeting to decide what we really needed to the project management and execution was great. It was delivered on time - early in fact - and on budget. Highly recommend.

Lance ChorltonGapped OnlineWe're really pleased with the work Scorchsoft has done in developing our web portal! They have been accurate with timelines and budget, delivering a solid product that allows us to monitor and manage patients remotely while they use our novel medical device at-home. The "plan - design - build" approach has worked well and saved us time in the long-run by catching requirements and issues early.
Daniel GreenSensTrainI'm really pleased with how my app came out, it was exactly what I was looking for. The team at Scorchsoft are great at what they do and made the whole process as simple and easy as possible. Being someone who is not very tech savvy the set up and back end operations were done in a great easy to use manner even for myself which makes using my app stress free. Thanks to all the team!
Ruben CarrollMosaic MasterpiecesThe new Flourish Education website has already removed a lot of manual processes, freeing up both schools, candidates and internal employees time. We are delighted with the look and feel which is clean, professional and more engaging. We are also pleased with the decision to have an HD video background on the homepage, and building immediate trust with our clients by giving them a taste of what it looks like in the Flourish Education offices.
James HancocksMarketing Manager, Flourish Education I can't believe how quickly we started to see results with this project. Scorchsoft provided us with graphic-designed mockups of how the app would look once built, and we were able to sell the product for use by our first customer before the product was finished. Since launching in March, we have secured a major television network as a client who now uses Image Approvals to manage the talent approval process for their productions.
