Student of School of Medicine creates a system to speed up ambulance transfers

The development of this project proposes the displacement of medical emergencies without setbacks in the city

Jesus Genaro Saucedo Sanchez, student of the 12th semester of the career of surgeon and midwife, has worked in recent months in the development of a technology that would allow adjusting the light of vehicular traffic lights to give orderly passage to the ambulances that travel towards the emblematic University Hospital and the different medical emergency centers of the royal metropolis.

❝Right now we are in an early phase, we have a first prototype in which we visualize how we want it to work but it is not yet automated [...] after this we will begin to seek the collaboration of the Government or other institutions❞.

The idea for the project arose after witnessing the arrival of the emergency room at the University Hospital on medical duty and grew even more after witnessing the difficulty and the road disorder to make way for an ambulance in the middle of the avenue. His avant-garde project plans to be launched mainly in Monterrey, however, he does not rule out that this technology could cover other cities in the entity, even throughout Mexico.

Jesús added that through the Program for the Creation of High-Impact Companies by Researchers of the hub of the Directorate of Innovation and Entrepreneurship of the UANL has promoted the development of its project so that it can be sustainable and backed by a business model.

❝My vision for the project is that it starts in Monterrey first, I want all of Nuevo León to be under this system that in the end is for the sake of the health of the people of Nuevo Leon and if at some point it becomes something national, I am delighted.

At 24 years of age and a short step away from graduating, Jesús will continue to seek and take advantage of opportunities to develop his project, for now entitled Life Light, in the health, government and private sectors. He is fully convinced that technology can be combined with health-focused science and plans to continue with this approach.
