Product Development
We design higher fidelity simulation tools that cost a fraction of the market price, so any program can afford real practice.

- Under $5 CPR mannequin
- A trainer that really bleeds
Why We Exist
First aid education is fragmented and expensive.
The nonprofit space is crowded but decentralized. Dozens of organizations operate regionally and duplicate the same effort, buying the same mannequins and rebuilding the same tools. Equipment cost is the single biggest barrier to teaching more people.
Sidewalk Medic exists to break that cycle. We centralize what works, share it openly, and drive the cost of training toward zero.
