Quick Spot


Problem Statement

The Ambulance Call Service in India redirects the call to the hospital based on the distance between the patient and and the hospital. Whichever hospital is nearest, It will redirect the call to that hospital. For e.g. If a patient calls from location L and there are two hospitals nearby one is HA & HB. It takes 5 minutes to reach HA and 10 minutes to reach HB from location L.

Suppose, there is traffic jam between location L and hospital HA which in turn increases the travel time to 20 minutes. Now, the hospital with feasible travel time is HB because the travel time is 10 minutes. But, the current system will still redirect the call to HA because it considers only the distance not the travel time.

Another problem is, in congested areas, the patient has to guide the ambulance. Also, If someone has met with an accident on a highway. It is very hard to find the precise location of the patient.

Solution

I will create a webapp which figures out all the nearest hospital, and returns the details of the hospital with feasible travel time(live). After that my app will send a message to the patient and that message will contain a link. As soon as the patient clicks the link, it will automatically send the precise location of the patient even the geographical coordinates to my app. My app will send this information to the ambulance which will help the ambulance to reach to the patient in best possible time.
