UK medics develop app to save lives during terror attacks
Senior British military and civilian medics, who created the app, are concerned that people caught up in terror attacks may not know how to respond in the immediate aftermath – when every second counts.
citizenAID is designed to guide the public to react safely, send relevant messages to the emergency services, prioritise the injured, and give life-saving first aid.
In the information age, people have grown inseparable from their smartphones, so could they help in the event of an emergency?
The creators of a new smartphone app, named CitizenAid, hope these gadgets can help. The app is designed to guide the public to administer life-saving first aid, react safely, send relevant messages to emergency services, and prioritise the injured in case of a terror attack.
