An accident and emergency surgeon Dr. Olive Kobusingye,said that the application will provide more accurate information than the current system  that had many challenges along with loopholes.

She also added that the app will enable better planning for the victims that will be involved in the accidents.

This system has been currently deployed  in some parts of the country such as Mbale, Sironko and Kampala.
