My sincere condolences to the author. Wishing you strength and peace.

I once saw a man have a heart attack on the beach, less than a 5 minutes drive from a fire-station and rescue team. A helicopter arrived after 45 minutes, and the man was deceased already. That was in Martinique, french Caribbean.

There's a need for an app to let patients track the ambulance. It's been possible for 10+ years, as seen with Uber. It seems existing products have focused on tracking only for the purpose of managing a fleet, missing the focus on patients needs.

I don't want to blame anyone, but I'm pretty sure that kind of visibility is not desired.

Not desired by whom? I think transparency is desired by citizens/customers. Do you think there are (good) reasons why obscurity is preferred?

This would be a great way for thieves to determine which house is likely to have just had everyone leave it in a hurry and not likely to return any time soon.
