IVS Health
IVS Health develops technology-driven solutions for prehospital emergency care in low- and middle-income countries, where over 70% of emergency transports occur via private vehicles or bystanders rather than trained ambulance services. The company builds durable, context-appropriate tools engineered for resource-constrained environments, targeting the critical gap between emergency onset and hospital arrival to improve survival rates.

Problem
Access to emergency care is often the difference between life and death, yet for billions of people in low- and middle-income countries, prehospital care is limited, delayed, or entirely absent. Over 70% of emergency transports are carried out by private vehicles, police, or bystanders rather than trained ambulance services, and critical early interventions such as airway management or bleeding control are frequently missed, causing the "golden hour" of emergency care to be lost. Conditions requiring emergency care account for around 50% of the global disease burden, with leading causes of death in LMICs including ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and lower respiratory infections—all highly time-sensitive and significantly more survivable with rapid and effective prehospital care.
Solution
IVS Health develops technology-driven solutions to improve access to quality healthcare, with a dedicated focus on prehospital emergency care in low- and middle-income countries. The company combines real-life healthcare challenges with advanced technology to build durable, context-appropriate solutions for resource-constrained environments. By targeting the weakest link in many health systems—the support patients receive before reaching a hospital—IVS Health aims to improve survival rates where emergency care access is most limited. Their approach is grounded in purpose, care, and responsibility, designing solutions intended to last and to make a meaningful difference in the most uncertain environments.
Target Audience
Primary beneficiaries are patients in low- and middle-income countries who lack access to timely emergency care, with the broader audience including health systems, emergency care providers, and organizations working to strengthen prehospital care infrastructure in resource-limited settings.
