Ambulance Dispatch Prototype
A simulated handoff across GP, nurse, and dispatch roles.
Ambulance Dispatch Prototype is a static prototype for exploring how information could move through a triage workflow. It connects a general-practice assessment, nurse intake, and an ambulance dispatch queue in one navigable simulation.
Software engineer and prototype builder; implemented the connected static workflow and sample-data interactions.
Prototype work originating in the Terra Symposium documentation environment; maintained as a standalone demonstration.

The handoff problem
Triage involves multiple people and changing context. This prototype asks how the same scenario might be understood from three points in the flow: a GP assessment, a nurse intake, and an ambulance dispatch queue.
/02
One scenario, three views
The demo lets a person move between the original triage workflow, a dedicated nurse intake, and a shared queue. Nurse intake places a limited mock record in browser local storage so the dispatch view can show the handoff. The other form fields remain in page memory.
- GP assessment: capture a structured triage scenario.
- Nurse intake: add sample information to a local queue.
- Ambulance dispatch: review the mock handoff.
/03
A prototype boundary
This is a static simulation, not a clinical service. It does not send information to a server or dispatch service, and it does not provide medical advice. Its value is in making the interface and handoff sequence tangible enough to discuss.
Use sample details only. Do not enter real patient information.
