Within SmartConnect Gemsotec offers its INA intervention platform. This is used by first responders on a daily basis when they go out for an intervention. This allows to test different elements developed in the Smart Connect project with actual practitioners.

INA, the Intervention app for first responders, makes every single minute count in an emergency. Emergencies such as fires, accidents or natural disasters are stressful situations, where time is crucial. First responders are in need of real time and actual information in order to prepare for the intervention and gain insights. Communication during an intervention can be chaotic. Improved information sharing, including visual information, is crucial. That’s why we developed INA. It is made for operations – like first responders on the ground, dispatchers, supervisors – or even for the communication department. As INA integrates various information sources in one single interface it brings improved situational awareness to first responders. This allows them to prepare for the intervention. They get to know how the environment looks like and can already dig into the intervention plan of a building. In addition, the intervention channel is the place for information sharing, including messages, photos, videos. Equally important is the interactive map. A performant custom GIS map with all features you need. You can integrate many GIS sources without compromising performance, check real-time local weather, draw up safety perimeters, and points of interest. During large interventions it is important to set up an adequate incident command to structure the response. With the ICS module this command structure can be visualized easily and shared with everybody. Define who’s leading which tasks, assign vehicles to specific tasks, and make sure everyone knows the right radio channel. Fire departments and ambulance crews are already using INA to level up their response.
