Abstract

The number of mortalities coming into the emergency room is still very high. While it is evident that the sooner professional medical assistance is provided the higher chances of survival, emergency response systems are yet to be improved and widely implemented to produce a significant impact. Mobile Applications are an important instrument to improve such a service. Mobile health (or ‘mhealth’) refers to healthcare and medical information that is supported by mobile technology. In 2015, approximately 80% of physicians used mobile devices and medical apps and 25% applied them to provide patient care. This study seeks implementing a design thinking approach to connect growing logistics and healthcare startups through an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) application and platform to provide a more efficient, effective and responsive emergency care through the coordination between emergency responders and the victim or rescuer at the point of incidence.
