Keynote: Building an emergency software
summary
Nailinda is an emergency dispatch system that uses USSD no-internet emergency UX to let callers send location, landmark and symptom text and get a hospital to reply yes/no; it runs on Phoenix + Elixir + APIs with a LiveView dashboard and offline sync for rural phones. A separate realtime service replaces a paid pubsub, handling spikes of 15,000 websocket connections and cutting a prior bill of about $15,000 down to simple hosting costs; current status is soft launch and active testing with hospitals.
