TEDMED | What if we could predict emergencies before they occurred? @TEDMED | Uploaded July 2019 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
Since childhood, we are all taught that 9-1-1 is the golden number to call in case of emergency. Michael Martin, Founder of RapidSOS, argues that 9-1-1’s technology infrastructure is antiquated in 2018, and it’s surprising to realize the people who answer don’t even know your name or location when you need help most rapidly. Watch Michael’s TEDMED 2018 Hive Talk to discover how RapidSOS is not only enhancing our 9-1-1 system with life saving data, but is also leveraging data to predict emergencies before they even occur. They are on the cusp of transforming our world from emergency response to emergency prediction and prevention.
