"Speedifying Ambulance services" this is a very precise three word description of our project. We are using technology to bring the solution for long faced problem of Ambulances getting stuck on Road.

The problem MediQwik solves

-We have seen many ambulances stuck in traffic and
still not able to do something about it.

-There are many instances where we get to know about the
Ambulance only when we hear its siren. This can lead us to
getting ourself stuck, and being an obstacle in front of an
ambulance. Prior knowledge of ambulance location, if we fall in
certain radius, will help us make the right decision with our
movement on the road.

-According to a report from Times of India
unfortunately about 30% of deaths are caused due
to delayed ambulance.

-Also more than 50% of heart attack cases reach
hospital late , which can constitute unavailability of
ambulances too but majority of it is due to patients
stuck in traffic.

-Our team has come up with an idea to reduce the
amount of time for ambulance to reach the
hospital significantly

-We are using technology to notify the vehicles
moving on the road about the ambulance near
them.

-The notifications with the current location of the
ambulance can be shown to the people moving
on the road on their maps.

-So they can adjust there positions accordingly to
make way for the ambulance.

-The nearby police stations can also be made
aware of the location of the ambulance so that
they can make necessary arrangements.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Testing this application was a very difficult task, as it involved rapid movement. We resolved this by explicitly putting location and changing them to check edge cases.
  2. Integration of MapBox and it's marker was bit difficult , but with the help of documentation we have figured out the solution.
  3. Real time communication was also bit challenging.
