Emergency-response app that transcribes 911-style calls, embeds the transcript, and routes each incident to the nearest medical professional with matching expertise — closing the gap before first responders arrive.

Notes
  1. Cut emergency response times with a React Native app that transcribes calls and connects the caller to nearby medical professionals.
  2. Matched each emergency to a responder using BAAI embeddings in a vector database for semantic search over expertise.
  3. Kept responders oriented in real time by storing active incidents in Amazon RDS and surfacing them on an interactive map.
