SAM — Samaritan Aid Mobilizer
In rural America, EMS response averages 20+ minutes. Survival rates for cardiac arrest drop 10% every minute without intervention. But the neighbor three miles down the road has an AED in their truck and a current CPR cert — they just don't know someone needs them.
SAM matches registered volunteers carrying AEDs, Narcan, and first aid gear to nearby 911 dispatches. Anonymous SOS, encrypted location, gear-specific dispatch. RapidSOS integration for bidirectional 911 communication. AWS Lambda + DynamoDB serverless architecture with geohash proximity matching.
SAMs are your neighbors, fellow travelers, off-duty medics, nurses on their lunch break. Alerted at the same time as EMS, but often the first to respond.
You carry narcan. You know CPR. You have an AED in your car. That makes you a SAM.
