EmergencyBridgeKE is Kenya's national emergency healthcare coordination platform — triage, GPS ambulance dispatch, live bed visibility, SHA claims automation and rural telemedicine. Reachable from any 2G feature phone via *999#.
The problem
One platform
From a Kakamega village dialing *999# to Kenyatta National receiving a transfer, every link in the chain is on the same realtime fabric.
Color-coded queues with vitals capture, voice (Kiswahili) input and ICD-10 hints.
Browser-native geolocation streams ambulances to the dispatcher map every 5s.
Live ICU/HDU/Maternity occupancy across the county, never blind to capacity.
Live claim health score blocks rejections before submission.
Rural L2/L3 nurses get a cardiologist in one click.
Any 2G feature phone summons help — no smartphone, no airtime needed.
Surge forecasts so counties stage capacity before cholera hits.
CPR-trained volunteers alerted when within 500m of cardiac arrest.
Counties subscribe via Daraja STK push, sustainable nationwide rollout.
TVET pathway
EmergencyBridgeKE is built and run by TVET graduates: EMTs, dispatch operators, health-records officers, pharmacy technicians. The jobs portal matches KNQA-certified graduates directly to county vacancies.
