Flare - Commitment Award - Not Impossible Award Winner
Flare is the winner of the 2019 Not Impossible Commitment Award in the Wildcard category for their work to address the challenge of calling for help in places with no coordinated emergency response system. Flare provides an end-to-end solution for emergency care and provides patients with an affordable and easy way to access help.
In Flare's launch country, Kenya, getting emergency care required hundreds of calls and often took several hours. The average wait time was 162 minutes. In less than a year, Flare has reached response times as low as four minutes! They've built a best-in-class dispatch center to respond to hundreds of emergencies and developed a low-cost 911 infrastructure that aggregates available responders onto a single platform. Without purchasing an ambulance fleet or spending billions of dollars, they have reduced response times down to global standards. Flare currently has 60 ambulances on their platform at any given time, along with 19 security vehicles and more than 500 vehicles geotagged, resulting in the largest emergency network in the region.
