Apparatus and method for emergency response data acquisition and retrieval

An emergency data manager comprising:

• a cloud-based server having an application server component, operative to provide a plurality of cloud-based, software-as-a-service emergency response application instances to a plurality of public safety answering points (PSAPs) via a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with each emergency response application instance;
• a network component, operative to provide Internet Protocol (IP) connections to the plurality of PSAPs and to a plurality of emergency data servers and databases;
• and
• at least one processor, operatively coupled to the network component, the at least one processor operative to:
• detect an emergency at the cloud-based server by receiving an emergency alert from a mobile device, sent by the mobile device over an internet connection, where the emergency alert comprises mobile device hybrid location data generated by the mobile device and a mobile device identifier;
• pushing the emergency alert comprising the mobile device hybrid location data and the mobile device identifier to an instance based on the mobile device hybrid location data and displaying the emergency alert on a GUI associated with the instance at a PSAP;
• receive protected medical profile data corresponding to at least one patient medical identifier associated with the mobile device identifier contained in the emergency alert;
• and
• display an anonymized candidate profile list in the GUI at the PSAP having at least one list entry for the medical profile corresponding to the at least one patient medical identifier, the anonymized candidate profile not exposing protected medical information related to the patient medical identifier.
