It’s a concept that gets services and help to a responder much faster than traditional channels of care.  A police officer can download the app and have it at their disposal. I

Hypothetically speaking, let’s say an officer has had a series of traumatic experiences related to calls, or has unusual anxiety of depression.  They can use the app and the AI software will do an assessment and recommend a course of action. 

The course of action is confidential.  Also, the family member of the officer or responder can use the Alli Connect AI.
