SnooCODE RED is a digital offline emergency services system that enables responders to determine the nearest and most suitable health assets for patients in need, such as ambulances, hospitals, and doctors. The system can also dispatch a drone to the emergency site for quick surveys and medical deliveries. The application allows for easy navigation to and from the emergency scene, improving response time and the patient’s chances of survival. All this happens offline without the internet or a SIM card meaning responders can still reach patients at best possible time in remote areas and even in times of disaster. In trials with the Ghana National Ambulance Service, we helped improve response times by up to 56%. SnooCODE RED Development Partners programme aims to build a community to provide ambulance services across Africa to improve emergency response time, share emergency health knowledge among community members and drive access to communication devices and other relevant tools through collaboration on different grant opportunities.
