“The Heroes Nearby project via our free emergency app acts as a precautionary measure, gets you help quickly, and gives you peace of mind and a greater sense of security. Our emergency app also allows good humans – professionals and individuals with an open heart – to be true Heroes and help their fellow citizens, visitors and loved ones in any situation.
The project was born out of the founders’ personal experiences with volunteering, helping the elderly, physical assault and violence, and their involvement in martial arts training for self-defense.”
During the 7 months of the successful pilot project in Croatia, we talked to all major organizations and experts. We also received valuable feedback from individual mobile app users. Both of these segments strongly influenced the current direction of the project.
The project was recognized as innovative and socially beneficial and was covered by all major media in Croatia. The project also received the Seal of Excellence from the EU.
The most common request of the organizations involved in the Pilot project was a flexible system just for their needs with closed groups and the ability to monitor, report and analyze incidents and events.
We had talks with city authorities in several cities, organizations, companies, representatives of the big humanitarian organizations and numerous associations. Participation in the tender for local communities in Cape Town only confirmed the direction of further development.
So, we rolled up our sleeves and created Qdrome to enable dedicated, engaged communities and organizations to take safety, reporting and connectivity to a whole new level.
In addition, Qdrome is an affordable and highly customizable solution that enables the organization of people and teams, control, analysis and monitoring of events and incidents.
