That's a pretty cool idea, but aren't you better off calling 911 or your local equivalent? What about liability issues? What about responsiveness? This thing needs to be fast and non-intrusive !
I was in a (non-life-threatening) accident last week and I can think of a couple of useful first-aid pointers lots of people overlook, like:
* so what is the local emergency number? (based on GPS position)
* "let's give him something to drink to comfort him ..." (Don't !)
Basically a decision tree to help people with basic first aid. These protocols exist in the first aid world.
- limmeau 18y agoOf course, the phone should also dial 911 (or 112 if you're in most parts of Europe). I like the idea of a decision tree. Big readable decision screens: "Does the person answer when spoken to? [YES NO]" etc.
- ConradHex 18y agoThis could be useful in the case of a mass emergency where 911 can't respond to everyone in a timely way. Also, when you don't have a cell signal. Or after the zombie apocalypse.
- gcheong 18y agoWhen you take a first aid course they often give you cards with these kinds of instructions to carry with you so I don't think there would be a problem liability-wise with the app itself.
