Life savior: An integrated emergency response system

Emergency medical services are largely to provide facility to people in need of medical treatment or to take patient to the point of definitive care. In developing countries such as Pakistan, emergency medical services, especially pre-hospital emergency case services, are neglected for quite a long time. In metropolitan cities, timely access to emergency care becomes challenging with the increasing number of population. The objective of this research is to propose an end-to-end communication solution in the form of an integrated platform consisting of applications that could facilitate patients and Rescue Service Providers in critical situations efficiently and effectively. An experimental research approach was adopted to develop integrated emergency response platform. A combination of mobile and web technologies was employed to develop proposed platform. Such platforms are helpful to decrease response time and assist rescue service providers by providing associated information such as shortest route to location of incident or nearest hospital which helps users in quick decision making.
