The idea was to produce a 3 minute pitch demonstrating our app idea which was called Rapid Response. The team consisted of Myself, Andy Lynch and Jason Nelligan. Rapid Response is a mobile application that will assist the emergency services by providing the public with a platform to become part of the national response team. Our system will allow people who have arrived at the scene of an accident to quickly contact the emergency services, maintain this contact and provide them with real-­time images, footage and GPS location that will be invaluable for them to survey and find the scene, while they are en-­route. Rapid Response will connect the public, emergency services and hospital staff and in doing so identify the patient’s needs and anticipate the potential demand on hospital resources prior to arriving at the hospital.
