BW-SOS

BW-SOS is a Security, Medical and Roadside assistance app for Botswana.

“Although there are Apps that allow you to alert pre-selected loved-ones in an

emergency, they only serve to tell people that you are in trouble. BW-SOS uses the geo-data on your phone, it works quickly by sending signals to the closest private security response vehicle in your vicinity. This means that right now BW-SOS can be used anytime, from anywhere. Where you may have robust home and office security systems, this App covers you when you are commuting, traveling, jogging or taking a holiday out of your province.

BW-SOS uses the latest geo-tagging technology, through TomTom and the BW-SOS network of Private Security and Ambulance service providers are registered and highly trained.

At a small monthly premium, per person, BW-SOS provides security and medical response cover, wherever you are, when you need it most.

Right now BW-SOS provides a “safety-net” for users by supplementing these services with fast acting private service-providers.

The benefits include peace of mind when you, or your loved-ones travel, a lighter load on public services and faster, more effective mitigation of overall criminal activity in cities.

There is a term used by paramedics and doctors…”the golden hour”. It refers to the first hour after a physically traumatic, or possibly fatal injury. The Golden Hour is the time in which the most effective life-saving interventions can be applied. Depending on the severity of the injury, the chances of survival diminish with every minute that passes, becoming more and more unlikely as time passes.

Immediate medical response is absolutely vital in the event of a serious injury, as the timing very often means the difference between life and death. The BW-SOS App automatically sends private medical response assistance, to your exact location, the moment you press that button.
