Power of the positive many

It occurs too often that people die of heart attacks while in the neighbourhood someone owns a defibrilator.

Heartsafe Living in the Netherlands initiated a project where the central alarm number 112 connects via sms to a volunteer in the area. It is a nice example of smartmobs and the positive power of the mobile many.

Unfortunately, no English version of the site exists at present. Yet this goes to show how mobile devices via SMS are being increasingly used in the medical domain. In an earlier post I referred to use of SMS in African mobile hospitals.

This shows the emergence of the power of the positive many - technologies of cooperation.

Thanks to SmartMobs for this.
