7.  Kerajaan telah menubuhkan sebuah Pasukan Gerak
Khas Inovasi Inklusif yang diterajui MOSTI, yang
bertujuan akan memperincikan kaedah pelaksanaan
inovasi inklusif secara sistematik dan berterusan
bagi manfaat masyarakat akar umbi. (Grassroots
citizens)
 Perlulah diadakan program-program yang memberi
penekanan kepada Inovasi Inklusif (Inclusive
Innovation) dengan kerjasama Kementerian/ agensi/
NGO dan rakan-rakan strategik lain.
Inovasi Inklusif Program 2013 by MOSTI

8. What is Inclusive Innovation ?
 ‘Inclusive Innovation’ refers to the knowledge
creation, acquisition, absorption and distribution
efforts targeted directly at meeting the needs of the
low-income or the base-of-the-pyramid (BoP)
population. The focus of Inclusive Innovation is on
delivering high performance products and
services or high experience at ultra-low cost to
the people whose needs are generally not
addressed.

9. An Inclusive Innovation Project by ANGKASA
RURAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL
SYSTEM (REMS)

10. Project objective
 To enhance the rapidness of emergency
vehicle to individual who need immediate
treatment cause by illness.
 To enhance the quality of emergency medical
services to the community.

11. Pilot project partner
 Bulan Sabit Merah Malaysia, BBSM (Red Crescent
Malaysia)
 BSMM Headquarters as the control station

12. Focus group 1
 Individual
 Individual who suffers critical illness which needs
immediate medical attention (eg. heart problem, epilepsy,
Alzheimers, including pregnancy)

13. Focus group 2
 Emergency Medical Services with emergency
dispatch vehicle
 Focus to ambulance

14. Implementation
 Focus group

17. System advantages
 Locating patient using GPS personal locator
 GPS Personal Locator is given to selected patients who
have critical illness (recommended by the doctor)
 From the patient own initiative, they can register
themselves
 Easy emergency/distress flagging (SOS button)
 Press SOS button to signal for distress
 Control Centre is located at emergency vehicle
dispatch centre
 Display patient location (coordinates) on a digital map at
the control station; viewed by the operator and

31. The way forward
 This project have been granted Techno Fund from
MOSTI to upgrade the system and to be
commercialized
 Techno Fund granted on Feb 2014, for the duration
of 30 months of development
 Change of name of the system, ‘Rural’ will be
replaced by ‘Rapid’.
