alert VoICE

17 lives are lost every minute in India in medical emergencies, since 80% of these don’t even receive first response and over 75% of these victims could be saved with proper first response.

Be it at homes, schools, colleges, workplaces or on the roads, who is to help a victim before the ambulance arrives? Inaction during emergencies kill more people than natural disasters!

While ALERT has been training common people on emergency response and creating First Responders out of lay persons, the availability of a first responder in a given emergency is left completely to chance. The need of the hour is to bring in the aforementioned first responders together at the right time to save a life.

alert VoICE - Volunteers In Case of Emergency - is the solution to bridge the demand for emergency help and supply of voluntary first response in the form of a community driven by a mobile based application. With over 12 years of experience and expertise in training the lay man in emergency response, ALERT ventures to provide on-ground intervention through alert VoICE that will transform the emergency response eco-system of the nation. And the best part is, it doesn’t change the current way of calling an ambulance, thereby making it simple and effective. alert VoICE - the flagship initiative by ALERT is backed up by Apollo Hospitals as Medical Partners and has been recognised by DBS - NUS as one among the “Top 120 Social enterprises to watch for in Asia”. alert VoiCE was launched by Padma Bhushan Dr. Prathap C Reddy, Chairman, Apollo group of Hospitals in Chennai.

Imagine you see someone on the road bleeding to death. As a good samaritan you stop by to help but unfortunately you are not trained in emergency response. That is an awful position to be in, right?

But if you had access to a pool of First Responders who can arrive at the scene before the ambulance and help save the victim, how fortunate that would be?

That is exactly the impact that alert VoICE can create!

If you are a well-intentioned volunteer, it provides you the opportunity to save lives of victims in emergencies and if you are an innocent passerby or a near / dear one of a victim and unequipped to handle the emergency, it gives access to a network of first responders trained and equipped with kits.

In a country where pizza gets delivered faster than ambulance and over 98% of the population lacks awareness on how to respond to emergencies, delivering First Response on-time and on-demand will save lakhs of lives. And this is exactly what alert VoICE as a solution can do.
