iCEPhone for the Paramedic Inside of You
Filed under: Emergency Medicine
The Medical Phone Ltd out of Edinburgh, UK is working on a mobile device that will provide step-by-step instructions during emergency medical situations, and can quickly call 911, your doctor, as well as a nearby hospital. iCEphone™ (iCE for in Case of Emergency), though a simple and smart idea, might as well be a software package that can be installed onto any smart phone capable of handling such functions.
From the device info page:
iCE Aid is designed to assist anyone, anywhere in the world affected by a medical emergency. The software package reduces the time to receive appropriate treatment -- the critical factor in emergency medicine. It has three main functions:
Provides step by step emergency first aid software to lead you by the hand and show you what to do and how to do it
Automatically records what has been done and compiles a handover report to give to the emergency services
Holds your medical records in a safe and secure fashion iCE Aid is for everyone. Whether you are going about your daily life, travelling alone in the mountains, trekking through the desert, swinging through the jungle or gliding over the ocean waves and you need some medical help - here it is. It is particularly suited to remote contractors, travellers and backpackers who may need to deliver some care themselves; or access foreign healthcare in remote parts of the world with sparse medical services.
