Abstract: Timely medical transportation determines survival outcomes in emergencies, yet many individuals continue to face delays due to traffic congestion, ambulance unavailability, or fragmented communication systems. VitaLink is a community- driven digital platform designed to connect patients in urgent need of transport with verified local service providers, including two-wheelers, four-wheelers, and autorickshaws. The platform prioritizes accessibility, real-time coordination, and flexible payment options—ensuring that financial limitations do not prevent patients from reaching healthcare facilities. This paper presents the complete design, methodology, implementation strategy, system behavior, and expected societal impact of VitaLink. By leveraging community participation and modern mobile technologies, VitaLink aims to create a reliable emergency mobility ecosystem suitable for urban, semi-urban, and rural environments.
Keywords: Emergency transportation, mobile healthcare, patient mobility, real-time systems, community networks.
