Older people are more vulnerable to diseases because of their deteriorating health. Thus, it is more often for them to get admitted to hospitals because of strokes, heart attack, and having an increased blood pressure. Cities with highest number of older people should have a more convenient facilities to accommodate the needs of our older people. For example, a faster response by health personnel to emergency calls will save many lives. However, it becomes a problem when gated communities prevented them from acting fast to save lives.
Gated communities are sometimes the cause of the delay when emergency health personnel responds to emergency calls. Instead of rescuing a patient, they will spend minutes fumbling with keys to open the gates. We know how important even a millisecond when it comes to saving people’s lives.
To avoid this problem, our Emergency Vehicle Access Control or EVAC is a convenient and simple way to open gates for vehicles of emergency responders. EVAC comes with a coded remote control which can only be used by emergency personnel and a receiver installed on the entrances of communities.
The personnel would only have to push the button on the remote upon approaching the gate or the entrance in order to open the gate. There is no need to get down from the vehicle and fumble with keys that could put the life of a patient at stake.
It is a simple yet convenient way for a safer community. The following entities have already installed EVAC;
