Bryx, a provider of first responder technology products, launches a new COVID-19 Critical Warning banner within its free Bryx 911 mobile alerting application. Keywords associated with the virus are systematically pulled from the supplemental data, triggering a banner that informs first responders of possible cases in which safety protocols and equipment may be necessary.

The company’s algorithm, used to trigger the COVID-19 Critical Warning banner, can be extended to provide warnings for future emergencies based on other criteria. This new development stems from Bryx’s demonstrated commitment to providing first responders with a wealth of information, improving not only the preparedness of first responders but the well-being and safety of both responders and the community at large.

The update is available for Android 4.3 or newer, iOS 13.0 or newer, and the universal app.

Bryx is a technology company and engaged in reducing emergency response times. Their team develops technology that helps firefighters, paramedics and other first responders work faster, smoother, and smarter. The company’s free Bryx 911 mobile app and robust Bryx Station alerting system offer alerting, messaging and communications tools for first responders.
