Today, few people question the need to make the best use of technology in almost all walks of life, and the field of emergency response is no exception.

Emergency response organizations typically rely on a high level of human-intervention based methods for collecting measurable data about their rescue operations and membership. Few have access to the levels of automation that are actually available and are by definition less effective as they could be. This isn't a solution for the sake of technology, this is a service built by emergency responders especially for emergency response organizations.

Tanaiste (Deputy Prime Minister) of Ireland, Eamon Gilmore and Managing Director of Diageo Ireland present D4H Director Robin Blandford with €100,000 Arthur Guinness Fund Award for further research into emergency response analytics and technology.

In addition, current times have brought unprecedented demands for regulation and governance which by their nature cannot be ignored and have become an increasing burden for organizations remaining compliant in their field.

Decisions [D4H] is a collaborative emergency response team management tool that helps record and analyze operations, members, equipment, and training. It replaces the widely-used paper and spreadsheet formats and automates the entry of information using internet-connected computers, laptops, and consumer smartphone devices.

The tool uses this data algorithmically to deliver reporting, team management and intelligent information to the field, and information on- demand. Where required, outputs can be formatted for passing on to governing and compliance authorities.

Through intelligent collation of the data from the 'front-line', Decisions [D4H] facilitates extensive analysis, monitoring and scheduling of training, targeting of resource allocation and cost control.

Minister for Enterprise, Jobs and Innovation, Richard Bruton and Frank Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise Ireland with Company Founder Robin Blandford, announcing their equity investment into Decisions [D4H] (ByteSurgery Ltd).

Ultimately, Decisions [D4H] has been developed to enable call-out and incident-based organizations, large and small, to run as effectively as possible, and in the case of Emergency Response services in particular, to secure and save lives as a result.

Our technical solution is scalable across international organizations and is also very cost-effective at the smallest level, with our basic solutions costing less than a couple of dollars per team member in the volunteer sector.

Our founders and staff have a background in emergency response, active in Search and Rescue (SAR), Hazardous Material Response (HAZMAT), Special Fire Operations, Fixed-wing Search & Rescue, Maritime Response, and Prevention Campaign Management. Our roots are from within the very field we are supporting.
