The event started on 9th January 2025, and saw 63 teams from across Qatar that came together to develop cutting-edge solutions aimed at improving crisis management and emergency response.
Their proposed project, SalamTECH, is an advanced three-component system designed to streamline the triage process and enhance emergency communication. It integrates an AI-powered SOS alert system to assess patients in real-time, a live tracking feature for paramedics to optimize response efforts, and instant data access for emergency department staff to ensure seamless coordination. By enabling real-time data sharing, SalamTECH accelerates response times, minimizes miscommunication, and improves the accuracy of patient care, making it a game-changer in crisis management.
We are proud of you!
