Introducing the Safety Gap with Michael Martin
On this episode of Safety Gap, Cassidy Shield talks with Michael Martin, CEO and Co-Founder of RapidSOS, about the critical seconds that can determine life or death in an emergency. They discuss how RapidSOS is bridging the gap between technology and emergency response. The company's innovative platform delivers real-time data from diverse sources directly to 911 centers, including location, crash specifics, and even medical data.
Michael explains that this data helps first responders arrive faster and better prepared to handle emergencies. He shares his motivation for starting RapidSOS. A close friend's experience during the Virginia Tech shooting highlighted the flaws in traditional emergency response systems. This tragedy fueled Michael’s passion to improve communication and save lives.
