QuickAid is a little project to have an excuse to look into Googles Android.
Implemented while still working at Tojio as a entry for the Android Developer Challenge, it is an application to provide help in an emergency.
Medical emergencies can happen anywhere and any time. Very few people know what to do. According to the German Red Cross 80 per cent of all Germans have attended a First Aid course – but on average the course was 15 years ago.
A study carried out by the Berlin Charité Hospital has shown that 66 per cent of First Aiders can recognize cardiac or respiratory arrest but only 12.5 per cent actually initiate (any sensible) resuscitation procedures. (1) It is against this background that Quick Aid, a basic life support application for mobile phones, came into being. Quick Aid, when installed on an (Android enabled) mobile phone, accompanies the user everywhere and can be accessed at any time.
