人工智能急救平台 RapidSOS 获 7500 万美元巨额融资
北京时间 2023 年 3 月 8 日，智能安全急救平台 RapidSOS 宣布完成 7500 万美元的巨额融资，由全球最大的资产管理公司贝莱德领投。至此，RapidSOS 最新一轮融资总额已达到 1.5 亿美元。
RapidSOS 是一家利用人工智能 (AI) 帮助应急响应团队的初创公司。该公司利用 AI 聚合来自超过 5.4 亿台联网设备的救生数据，为超过 16000 个公共安全机构和近百万急救人员提供帮助。
RapidSOS 的平台可以实时收集和分析来自智能手机、可穿戴设备、汽车和家庭安全系统等设备的数据。这些数据包括位置信息、医疗记录和紧急联系人信息。通过整合这些数据，RapidSOS 可以为急救人员提供更准确、及时的信息，帮助他们更快、更有效地做出响应。
例如，在发生车祸时，RapidSOS 的平台可以自动向急救人员发送车辆的位置、碰撞严重程度和乘客人数等信息。这可以帮助急救人员快速评估情况并派遣适当的资源。
RapidSOS 的技术还被用于改善 911 呼叫的准确性。通过利用来自智能手机和可穿戴设备的位置数据，RapidSOS 可以帮助 911 调度员确定呼叫者的确切位置，即使他们无法说话或不知道自己的位置。
此次融资将用于扩大 RapidSOS 的平台和团队，并为更多公共安全机构提供服务。RapidSOS 首席执行官兼联合创始人 Michael Martin 表示：“这笔融资将使我们能够继续投资于我们的平台，并为更多社区提供我们至关重要的服务。”
贝莱德全球可持续投资主管 Tariq Fancy 表示：“RapidSOS 正在利用技术的力量来改善公共安全，我们很高兴能够支持他们的愿景。他们的平台为急救人员提供了宝贵的信息，帮助他们更快、更有效地拯救生命。”

**Body:**
RapidSOS, an intelligent safety and emergency responseplatform, has announced a $75 million mega-round led by BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager. This latest round brings RapidSOS’ total funding to $150 million.
RapidSOS is a startup that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help emergency response teams. The company’sAI aggregates life-saving data from over 540 million connected devices, serving more than 16,000 public safety agencies and nearly one million first responders.
RapidSOS’ platform collects and analyzes data from devices such as smartphones, wearables, cars, and home security systems in real time. This data includes location information, medical records, and emergency contact information. By integrating this data, RapidSOS provides first responders with more accurate and timely information, helping them respond faster and more effectively.
For example, in the event of a car crash, RapidSOS’ platform can automatically send emergency responders information such as thevehicle’s location, the severity of the crash, and the number of occupants. This can help first responders quickly assess the situation and dispatch the appropriate resources.
RapidSOS’ technology is also being used to improve the accuracy of 911 calls. By leveraging location data from smartphones and wearables, RapidSOS can help 911 dispatchers determine the caller’s exact location, even if they are unable to speak or do not know where they are.
The funding will be used to scale RapidSOS’ platform and team, and to serve more public safety agencies. “This funding will enable us to continue investing in our platform and bringing our life-saving services to more communities,” said Michael Martin, CEO and co-founder of RapidSOS.
“RapidSOS is harnessing the power of technology to improve public safety, and we are excited to support their vision,” said Tariq Fancy, BlackRock’s Global Head of Sustainable Investing. “Their platform provides first responders with invaluable information, helping them save lives faster and more effectively.”
