Abstract
First Aid Response Mobile Application (FAR) is an emergency software that states the location of the incident and works similar to ride-hailing applications such as but not limited to Grab, Uber, Lalamove, and Angkas, which has a similar concept where it helps the first aider to respond quickly in addition to the traditional way of the emergency response system, wherein the user shall call an emergency number and the emergency alert will be received by the dispatcher and the latter shall send the alert notification to all active medical team/personnel within the vicinity area of the former hence will track down who is the nearest to the location of the user/victim among them, once the active first aider received the alert it will automatically dispatch and accommodate the request of the user. The First Aid Mobile Application will give the user another help and option that could eliminate the time that is consumed by heavy traffic or travel time through the provision of direct notifications to the nearest first aid volunteer.
Description
The FAR Mobile Application revolutionizes emergency response. Imagine it as a blend of ride-hailing apps (like Grab, Uber, Lalamove, or Angkas) and traditional emergency systems. Its primary purpose is to enhance first aid response by swiftly connecting trained responders with those in need. Unlike the traditional emergency hotline system, where users call a central number and wait for dispatchers to relay alerts to nearby medical personnel, FAR takes a more direct approach. When an emergency occurs, FAR instantly identifies the incident location and notifies active first aid volunteers in the vicinity. This streamlined process significantly reduces response time, bypasses traffic delays, and complements existing emergency services. In essence, FAR provides an additional layer of safety by leveraging technology to connect users with the nearest available first aid volunteer.
