RideAlongNow

RideAlong is a health technology company that provides a specialized mobile platform designed to assist first responders in managing encounters with individuals experiencing mental health crises. The platform provides law enforcement and emergency personnel with real-time, tailored response plans and critical background information, such as a person's triggers and preferred de-escalation techniques. By facilitating data sharing between social services and public safety agencies, RideAlong aims to divert vulnerable individuals from the criminal justice system toward appropriate clinical and behavioral health resources. The company was acquired by Carbyne in 2021 to integrate its behavioral health response capabilities into broader emergency dispatch systems.
