Recent research has proven that currently, it is more likely for people to own a Smartphone rather than a toothbrush. Now, whilst this fact is pretty gross, in reality it’s incredibly true.
How often do you pop out to the shops, take a train or even walk down the street without seeing a member of the public clutching their phone, updating their social media status or crying out in distress and not reaching a higher Temple Run level?
We’re going to take a shot in the dark and say it’s pretty sparse.
But Smartphone’s aren’t all that bad. They keep you connected to your loved ones, they help you make important phone calls and possibly most importantly, they can instantly provide you with life-saving first aid information.
That’s right folks; defibshop’s very own CPR and AED App is available for download, giving you the opportunity to have access to important, first aid advice right in the palm of your hand. But just in case you needed more convincing, here’s 3 reasons why you absolutely need to log out of Candy Crush right now, and make space for this App on your home screen.
- Act Quick, Save Lives
In an emergency situation, timing is everything; and when it concerns a cardiac arrest, every single second counts.
By being able to have immediate access to first aid advice that will guide you in providing effective CPR and how to use an AED if one is nearby, you can provide essential, life-saving care to a victim, within those first few vital minutes of collapse.
Our app has been designed for quick access and with easy navigation to ensure you can locate the required information immediately and essential care can be administered.
In addition to the vital information provided by the app, another great feature is its “999” emergency call button. You can make a call for medical assistance without having to leave the app or its vital step-by-step information. Being able to contact the emergency services this way allows you to continue administrating vital first aid to the victim with guidance before professional help can reach you.
- No Internet Required
Is there anything more frustrating than the buffering symbol? As well as being extremely annoying, when in an emergency situation being able to have immediate access to your app is vital to help save the life of a casualty.
Fortunately, this is a factor we considered greatly when developing out app and no lack of signal or internet will hinder your ability to access first aid information in an emergency.
Emergencies often occur with no prior warning and can happen when you least expect them to, which is why we have designed our app so you don’t have to have any dependence on your data or wifi signal to have access to the life-saving information you need to treat a victim.
- It’s FREE
Could you put a price on a life? Neither could we. Which is exactly why we wanted to make sure this app was as accessible as possible with no need for a price tag.
An invaluable app which provides assistance, guidance and life-saving advice is available for FREE download off any iPhone or Android, so even if you never have to use it (and we hope you don’t!) You can have the reassurance that it’s always there should you need it if an emergency situation occurs at absolutely no cost.
We hope by reading this article you’ve become aware of the benefits having this app on your phone can have. By always having first aid knowledge to hand at the press of a button, you can be confident that you’re always prepared to act should a first aid emergency occur.
To download the app, simply search “defibshop” in your App or Google Play Store and download. It’s as easy as that!
