Leveraging real-time data: A location-based ambulance booking and tracking system with geofencing

Abstract

Delayed ambulance arrival is a critical issue in emergency medical care, impacting patient outcomes. This research addresses the challenge of slow response times in India's ambulance services. Our proposed system aims to significantly improve response times and patient transportation efficiency. To provide rapid medical assistance, the technology allows dynamic ambulance reservations depending on the severity of the accident, deploys competent drivers, and transmits real-time traffic data. The paper details the system's architecture and approach, including the use of Firebase Authentication and AWS Amplify for user management and backend development. Integration of various APIs (Google Maps API, Google Places Auto Complete, and Distance Matrix API) enhances user experience and functionality. This research presents a real-time ambulance booking and tracking system with the potential to revolutionize emergency medical response in India.
