What the heck is Uber for ambulance service?

Uber for ambulances is an app-based ambulance service that allows users to book an emergency vehicle instantly.

How does it work in real-time?

• Users [both service providers and the customers] register on the app.
• In case of an emergency, the customer can enter their location or allow the app to find it.
• And, the app looks for nearby ambulances in that location and matches it with the customer.
• The customer will send the booking request to the service provider.
• The service provider will pick up the customer and drop them off at the destined location.
