Great Help for Small People - The Development of a Children's Emergency App

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2020 Jun 16:270:1297-1298. doi: 10.3233/SHTI200410.

Abstract

In order to assist parents in providing rapid first aid to children in case of emergency, a mobile emergency application was developed. The children's emergency app works with intuitive graphics and checklists and combines several functions such as tips for preventing accidents, easy-to-understand instructions for first-aid actions and a search function for the next pediatrician or hospital. This app is not intended to be a substitute, but rather an addition to first aid courses.

Keywords: Mobile apps; children’s health; first aid; prevention.
