One-line solution summary.

Giving first-aid to patients at risk using an app.

What is your solution?

My solution is developing an app.

App functions:

Register using mobile number and choose your mode of language.
When a person at risk/yourself, login the app.
The app will ask you to enter the age of the person suffering.
It will ask to mention the disease and symptoms.
Next post the photo of your injury.
When the person is suffering from an unidentifiable problem. At this situation, there is an option to scan.

Choose scan option, type where you have pain and other symptoms. According to the symptoms, the sensors in mobile will activate automatically and ask you to scan the part of the body where you have pain using mobile camera. Within few minutes the app will display what first-aid has to be made both in text and video. The tablets are recommended for temporary relief. Immediately do first-aid and provide the recommended tablet to the person before ambulance comes.

This method can be achieved only when the all brands of smart phones are designed with health related sensors. This app can be further taken to next level, when government implements special centers with trained medical team for providing live guidance on first-aid to the people at risk 24/7.

What specific problem are you trying to solve?

Technology can be used in all domains to make them shine. Tech implementation in the field of medical science is far high. Eventhough tech development is high in the medical field, we are loosing so many lives each and every day. When the patients are risky, the only thing that comes to our mind is calling the ambulance. If we rely only on ambulance, the patient’s life will be risky. The deaths are occurring before taking patients to the hospital. Sometimes ambulance can take patients to the hospital at the right time. But most of the times there will be a delay. The delay may be due to traffic or non-availability of ambulance service at that time. We can’t blame anyone for this. Alternatively we can give first-aid before the arrival of the ambulance. But everybody won’t have enough knowledge in doing first-aid, because at different situation, first-aid may vary.
