Everyday many people die in road accidents or disasters in the world & several among them die due to lack of timely first aid or inadequate resources availability. So the basic theme behind our project was aimed at integrating modern technology with health services for some humanitarian purpose.
In the 48 hours of hackathon event of NASA Space Apps Challenge, we presented our idea to launch an all-in-one smartphone app. (Due to limited time we illustrated our idea in the form of a website) It will cater 3 types of audience:
1) Doctors, Rescue Services (govt/private)
2) Patients
3) General Public
Both doctors/rescue-teams & patients will have to sign up from the app. In case of any accident or emergency, injured person or witness will just press an EMERGENCY button in the app that will collect his location and send an alert to his nearby rescue teams. We will also be incorporating GIS data into our app that will process the data to predict diseases & allergies as well as remedies from expert doctors to avoid them.
Data will be collected from Pakistan Meteorological Dept, PMDC as well as from any other authentic org./NGO etc and it will be the only major challenge that we'll have to face. It may be implemented globally if we will be assisted in this regard, both financially & administratively...to make the Earthians "LIVE SMARTLY".
SpaceApps is a NASA incubator innovation program.
