Eli Beer: The fastest ambulance? A network of volunteer EMTs

As a young EMT on a Jerusalem ambulance, Eli Beer realized that, stuck in brutal urban traffic, they often arrived too late to help. So he organized a group of volunteer EMTs -- many on foot -- ready to drop everything and dash to save lives in their neighborhood.

Today, United Hatzalah uses a smartphone app and a fleet of "ambucycles" to help nearby patients until an ambulance arrives.

With an average response time of 3 minutes, last year, they treated 207,000 people in Israel. And the idea is going global. -- TED
