Greetings from Centre for Innovation , IIT Madras !
We are pleased to present to you the 108 Emergency Services App Hackathon. Organised by Tamil Nadu Health Systems Project (TNHSP) and IIT Madras, the hackathon brings you the opportunity to innovate and have a positive impact on the current structure of the 108 Emergency Services in Tamil Nadu.
In case of any emergency, rapid intervention is critical in determining the outcome. But, due to the limited information an emergency personnel can gather over phone the response times are high. Most of the times, it is very hard to locate the area where an emergency situation has arisen, just from the descriptions that are provided over call. The emergency service personnel have the crucial responsibility of bringing the response time to as minimal as possible.
Innovations in technology can play an integral part in achieving this goal.The aim of this hackathon is to come up with solutions that leverage the capabilities of a smart phone and integrate them with the back end infrastructure at the Call-Centre to make the flow of information fast and seamless thereby greatly increasing the efficiency.
This is your chance to contribute positively and earn recognition along the way. The winning solution will have the chance to be implemented in the field at the Emergency Response Centre.

Registration Deadline | October 16th |
