A. Background
Emergency hotlines. These are numbers that spell out the difference between life and
death in times of great need. Different emergency hotline numbers of the Philippines are shown
on televisions, in print and social media but statistics show that most Filipinos, if not all, are
oblivious to the existence of a single Philippine emergency hotline number, 117. Aside from the
caller’s unfamiliarity to this number, there are cases of unresponsiveness from the emergency
hotline number and even if it connects, this hotline number requires callers to properly process
the details of the emergency before the caller could be directed to the specific aid station the
person needs. Due to this slow and nonimmediate response provided by the emergency
hotline, thousands of cases of death have been reported. The consequences of inattentiveness
regarding this matter pose a huge threat not only to the comfort but most importantly, to the
safety and security of the people who need immediate aid.
B. Goal and Vision
Because of these interconnected issues at hand, ACTIV aims to simplify the emergency
hotline process by creating a mobile application called ACTIV that will serve as a timely and
innovative solution that will spark a change towards the improvement of the emergency hotline
systems in the Philippines. Through its
Flash Model, the app seeks to provide the most
appropriate response to different emergency situations in the fastest time possible.
C. Business Idea
ACTIV aims to create an emergency hotline app for Filipinos by making a simplified
system that will alert emergency stations faster and more efficiently.
This mobile application
called ACTIV will serve as a means for Filipinos to have instant access to emergency hotlines
i.e. hospital, police station or fire station without the need of recalling and dialing numbers
during emergency situations.
ACTIV envisions in advocating safety concerns and at the same
time, providing comfort to its clients enabling them to access immediate help response through
Flash
ACTIV’s Model which involves the User and the Emergency station.
User The user will be the client utilizing ACTIV. ACTIV can be downloaded in app
stores for free. The application will indicate the terms and condition upon initial opening and get
the biodata of the user for information which will then be saved in the ACTIV database. In case
of emergency, the user will open the app and press the button of the specific emergency station
that he/she needs. With the use of GPS and cell tower locator technology built on the app, the
user will be able send a signal to the application made for emergency stations. The user’s
profile would then appear on the giving the crew the identity of the individual who is in an
emergency situation. Prepaid load or wifi connection is not necessary in sending signals to the
service center.
E
mergency Station Aside from the app being utilized by the User in the event of an
emergency, the respective emergency stations involved would also possess another variant of
the ACTIV app which would be responsible for receiving distress signals. This ACTIV variant
would also be installed in smartphones. For an instance, a police patrol car could be equipped
with a designated smartphone with the variant app installed in it. When a signal is sent by the
User, the police officer would then receive an alert showing the profile and location of the
individual needing fast response. These emergency stations are accredited by the company in
cooperation with the respective government agencies they belong to.
D. Estimated Required Capital
The business startup grant of Php 50, 000 would be utilized for the creation of the
ACTIV app and other miscellaneous expenses that goes with it. This already includes the cost
of the IT expert in conducting testruns to ensure that the app operates efficiently. Overhead
costs also include the advertisement of the and the installation of the ACTIV app in Google Play
and the App Store.
