A Utkarsh Research Network Initiative

Kavach.
Help arrives faster.

A simple QR sticker for your vehicle that connects an emergency to your family and to 112 in seconds — built by a small public-health team in Bhubaneswar.

Kavach now lives on its own home: www.getkavach.com. This page is its short profile within the URN research network.

The Program

A research network's answer to a roadside emergency

Utkarsh Research Network works in evidence synthesis and public-health research. Kavach is the field side of that work — a low-cost, no-app safety system designed around the moments that matter most after a crash.

Scan-to-help QR

Any passer-by scans the sticker — no app, no login — to reach the right people instantly.

Live location to family

Emergency contacts are alerted with a live location link, so help can be guided to the spot.

Built around 112

Designed to work alongside India's national emergency number for a faster first response.

Evidence first

How does systematic review and evidence synthesis explain why Kavach matters?

The Law Commission of India estimated that about half of all road-crash deaths are preventable with timely care in the first “golden hour” — yet only around 1 in 5 victims reach care in time. The biggest delay is rarely the hospital; it’s the minutes before the family even knows. That evidence, read the way a systematic review forces you to, is exactly what shaped Kavach’s design.
