Inspiration
In emergency situations emergency services are often inundated with calls or they themselves are not in a position to help those in immediate need of rescue
What it does
Disaster Buddy serves as another number victims of a disaster can call/text in the place of emergency services to communicate their location and situation they are in. This is they conveyed to any rescue or peace-keeping bodies on the ground at the time as soon as they are possible in a priority order based on distance, gravity os fituation and other factors.
How I built it
Bulit with a Django Backend using Watson and Twilio for call functionality and automated conversation
Challenges I ran into
Having no experience using IBM tech, it was difficult to learn how to use IBM watson and various other technologies in the given timeframe
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Successfully leaning to use IBM Watson to create a chatbot was a very gratifying experience
What I learned
What's next for Disaster Buddy
Further functionalities will be implemented including calling, a dashboard for emergency responders and much more!
