My sincere condolences to the author. Wishing you strength and peace.
I once saw a man have a heart attack on the beach, less than a 5 minutes drive from a fire-station and rescue team. A helicopter arrived after 45 minutes, and the man was deceased already. That was in Martinique, french Caribbean.
There's a need for an app to let patients track the ambulance. It's been possible for 10+ years, as seen with Uber. It seems existing products have focused on tracking only for the purpose of managing a fleet, missing the focus on patients needs.
Personally I see plenty of problems with a real-time public broadcast of all the addresses a medical event has occurred at, the patients' location in transit, and the hospitals that received those patients.
"Ambulance chaser" is a rather derogatory phrase for a reason.
there's no need to post 7 digits accurate GPS coordinates, the important thing is to have an understanding of how many are how far from where they are going to, ETA, what's the capacity (free units ready or cars yes crew not, or vice versa)
An emergency dispatcher could send a Text message back with a link to a private, case-limited, web page with an ETA + a map + the ambulance location in real time.
See? no "real-time public broadcast of all the addresses a medical event has occurred at".
This would be a great way for thieves to determine which house is likely to have just had everyone leave it in a hurry and not likely to return any time soon.
