SwiftAid: a one-tap ambulance dispatch prototype
An early prototype — think "Rapido, but for ambulances" — where you call an ambulance with a single tap and it's tracked in real time. Built in 2024 to see if the idea held together.
SwiftAid was an early prototype from 2024. The idea was straightforward, if a little ambitious: calling an ambulance should be as simple as ordering a ride. Think “Rapido, but for ambulances” — one tap, no long form, and the ambulance is on its way.
What it does
A user opens the site and requests an ambulance with minimal detail — no hassle, no lengthy intake. On the other side, ambulance drivers are connected to the system, and the request is routed to a nearby one. It uses open map APIs for real-time location tracking so both sides can see where things are, and there’s AI-assisted first-aid guidance for bystanders while help is on the way.
It was a working prototype — the website and the core flow functioned — rather than a production system.
What I took away
SwiftAid was about testing whether an idea was worth building at all: could you strip an emergency request down to one tap and still route it usefully? Getting real-time location tracking working and thinking through the two-sided flow (requester and driver) was good practice in prototyping fast to answer a question, then being honest that a real version would need a lot more — regulation, reliability, and genuine dispatch integration — before it could touch a real emergency.
