SMS information on medical emergencies
In Sweden a large number of people have, through jobs, schools, sport clubs or NGOs been trained in first aid. This means that an estimated 20% of the population have the capacity to keep a persons heartbeating until professional medical help can arrive. Still many Swedes die from cardiac arrest or similiar problems.
Why is this?
First of all, few people are aware of what is going on behind the wall of the house they're walking by, or in the car standing to the side of the road. My idea, which I think is not all that unique, is to make people aware of what is going on around them.

How will this work?
Anyone who has passed a course in First Aid will be offered to sign up for a mobile phone service. When the emergency number receive a call about someone in grave danger of dying the operator uses a computer software to quickly triangulate the positions of the cellphones of all the first aid trained people in the area. Instantly an sms is sent out to the phones in the area and one or more of the people receiving the sms have a chance to assist the distressed person while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
Who wouldn't want to take the chance to help save another persons life?

Hi Johan,
Thanks for sharing that wonderful idea. I really believe that can be a solution though having localized medical clinics that are networked would be a better way because as people, we are always mobile. So you can never be sure of someone's presence in the place at that time yet times of death and health problems are really tough and need urgent action.
So having these clinics that are networked in the way you stated would better in my thinking. In case someone gets a health problem, then sending an SMS to the system that locates the person's location, communicates to the appropriate clinic, then may be the doctors send in an ambulance.
What do you think?

I would only like to clarify that this system is only to be seen as a complement to profesional medical assistance, that is, while waiting for profesionals to arrive. Thus, I agree fully with you that a local network of medical clinics would an excellent idea. It is however costly...
