INCLUSIVE ACCESS TO INCLUSIVE SERVICES

Beacon expands access to on-demand services and assistance for marginalized populations

Beacon Emergency Dispatch Platform

Persons with disabilities often do not have access to the specialized care that they need. When left unattended, this can snowball into far graver medical conditions. Beacon helps to address:

1. QUALITY OF LIFE THREATS

Haiti Earthquake - Pediatric Injuries

2. BARRIERS TO DAILY CARE

Establishing communication through Beacon can substantially improve access to specialized care and inclusive transport for marginalized populations.

HOW IT WORKS

QUALITY OF LIFE THREATS

1. BARRIER TO ACCESS

A person with a disability cannot access medical care or assistance

2. REQUEST

The individual or a caretaker places a request for assistance by text message.

3. ALERT

Beacon can request additional information or will immediately create an alert to relay the necessary information as a text message to all available caretakers registered on the list.

4. ASSIGNMENT

Beacon receives confirmation responses from the caretakers and selects the nearest and most appropriate individual(s) and/or vehicle(s) and assigns them to the incident.

5. CARE DELIVERY

Assigned caretakers arrive at the location and confirm their arrival via Beacon, requesting additional assistance and resources if necessary.

6. TRANSPORT

Where indicated, the requesting party can be referred and/or transported to healthcare facilities for continued care.
