Service: Blockchain for emergency services

Responsible organisation: SmartKey (Private sector)

Olsztyn, Poland is leveraging Etherum's blockchain to aid the provision of emergency services, offering another tangible use case for distributed ledger technology. Olsztyn has completed a successful trial run of SmartKey, a bridging technology that connects blockchain with physical assets, to aid in police, fire and ambulance services. SmartKey enables rescue teams to perform their jobs more efficiently by connecting a smart contract to Teltonika smart devices that are used by local rescue teams. This connection enables emergency crews to enter any building in the city without having to track down a keyholder or wait for permission.
