This is How Your Handset Can Save Your Life
As technologies evolve, we seem to have less and less time to keep track of our health. Meanwhile, being knocked over with fever or a self-driving automobile of some sort may still be a real problem. And here is how you can get over it.
We've decided to introduce you to a range of apps to help you deal with some health issues. And though this picking won't throw doctors idle, it will surely come in handy and may even save your life. The links are given for iOS, see the corresponding Android apps in Referenced Programs.
KidsDoc
A useful and a straightforward guide that will help you deal with the most common troubles children usually face while they explore the world around them. It covers most of the basic symptoms and provides illustrated first aid instructions (on how to extract a bee sting, for instance). Though it will probably be of no use in some serious situations, it will probably save your podiatrist some time or help you in case your child got a bruise.
Drugs.com Medication Guide
This one serves as quite an extensive medication database and will be particularly useful to people who take medications on a regular basis. You can create lists of pills to take, so that you won't forget to take your meds at the right time; browse through the database to see possible side-effects, required dosage, or get help identifying pills by their shape, color or imprint.
Pocket First Aid & CPR
A must-have app for every person. This guide includes an immense first aid instruction library with videos that may save your life in case of almost any emergency. Pocket First Aid & CPR proved itself useful back in 2010, when Dan Whoolley, a man who was caught by an earthquake on Haiti, managed to survive for over 65 hours in hotel ruins, before the rescuers pulled him out. The app also brings a widget to the lockscreen that can provide rescuers with their personal info that may be of vital importance in case the sufferer or the injured is unconscious.
Please, mind that neither of these apps can at any rate be used as a substitute for a full medical treatment, so in most cases it will be a better idea to call 911.
