Final Year Project

Project Title

PLSP Lifesavers: An Emergency Mobile Application for Mobilization of Lifesavers Trained Under AKU's Flagship PLSP Program

Description

Cardiac arrest and excessive bleeding are some of the most prevalent causes of death in Pakistan. The Pakistan Life Savers Program (PLSP) is a youth empowerment project that aims to train ten million Pakistani citizens in basic life-saving skills such as CPR and bleeding control. However, currently, the PLSP program lacks a method to bridge the gap between those in need of first aid and the lifesavers nearby. In collaboration with Aga Khan University, we have undertaken a project to mobilize lifesavers to the location of an emergency in their neighborhood using a mobile application. The application will serve as a communication channel between help-seekers and PLSP-trained lifesavers, allowing them to notify and alert nearby lifesavers, track their location, and receive prompt help.
