SafeAir
In the US alone, there are an estimated 60 M people each day without efficient access to emergency medical services and professionals. Skali, Inc intends to change that through our suite of EMS response products. Commercial airlines spend an estimated $1.6 B annually on diversions related to inflight medical emergencies globally. Only 35% diverted flights ended with the passenger in crisis visiting a hospital. The remaining 54% of passengers in crisis cost the airline an estimated $1B annually. Safe Air will save airlines this cost.
We have developed a cloud based Tele Emergency Medical system that is independent of an actual ER. The in-flight medical emergency response infrastructure has remained very static over the years. We have built a first, HIPAA capable, platform that brings the four pillars of a medical response in one place. We will connect the passenger directly with a ground based physician. We have developed a cloud based Tele Emergency Medical system that is independent of an actual ER.
In-flight medical emergencies (IMEs) are common and occur in a complex environment with limited medical resources. Health care personnel (if available) are often asked to assist affected passengers. The flight team, and many clinicians have limited experience in this environment
1 in 604 flights experience an In-flight Medical emergency (upto 1250 a day, globally), 10.6% of which result in a flight diversion costing an airline anywhere between $320,000 - $820,000 (depending on the size of the aircraft)
2/3 of flights diverted due to an in-flight medical emergency can be prevented if the clinician had more information regarding the passenger

We are not deployed to a customer yet.
MIT Solve would give us the ability to deploy our solution to remote and challenging rural areas. We have developed a system that works at less that 8mbps of wifi connectivity while still delivering telemetry to a remote physician.
We would gain exposure to w wide array of individuals and industry leaders, who would help us with deploying in much needed areas.
- Human Capital (e.g. sourcing talent, board development)
- Product / Service Distribution (e.g. delivery, logistics, expanding client base)
- Public Relations (e.g. branding/marketing strategy, social and global media)
We are the first to utilize existing technologies and bring a complete package to the skies.
The implications of our solution is wide ranging, from airlines to marine vessels, and then onto rural area.
We want to make sure Emergency medical assistance is available, no matter where you are. We will do that through providing a cheap and effective service, using a state of the art technology platform, with an integrated clinical component.

We are currently not deployed, but we would initially measure it by number of diversions saved per customer, per year.
I have been in healthcare since 12th grade. Public Health is something that is very dear to me, my last job was at the Dept. of Public Health San Francisco.
I have spent the last 10 yrs, designing Electronic Medical Recording systems for a living and we already have cutting edge solutions for Emergency Room Visits on the ground and I wondered, why can't we take that to the skies? Hence to improve passenger and crew experiences, I built SafeAir.
We are a homegrown solution, using ReactNAtive on the front end, springboot java on the backend and this is all deployed on AWS.
