Project Title

PLSP - Lifesavers

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.
