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.
