The Thai ICT Ministry has introduced software to facilitate emergency medical assistance through smartphones.
The software called ‘i lert u’ was developed by the Software Industry Promotion Agency. It has now been handed over to the National Institute for Emergency Medicine , Thai Airways International, Advanced Info Service (AIS), and Bangkok Hospital and its network.
The software sends an SOS signal by sending information on the phone’s location as well as any emergency contact numbers available. The software is available free of charge for Android and iOS devices.
The software won two awards last year, including the Thailand ICT Award (TICTA) and the Asia Pacific ICT Award (APICTA). To provide better medical assistance in emergency situations, the software will be developed into an application.
