Be afraid of Google Wave!
Meet iMobile Care, a potential life-saver that you can carry around in your pocket.
Launched at the beginning of this month, the app is primarily a reference guide that lets you obtain essential information about medical conditions and situations quickly and easily. The tool allows users to get a visual and textual explanation of how deliver aid and care during emergencies and events such as accidents, bites and stings, choking, injuries, poisoning, burns, and many other critical situations.
But billed as a mere mobile first aid guide even by its own makers, it’s actually much more than that. iMobile Care also boasts a number of location and personalization features that could well make the difference between life or death for yourself in the situations described above.
The app lets you call your local emergency number – which it automatically fetches as soon as you set your country – and access your camera or photo library in just one click. This can prove very useful e.g. in case of a car accident where you can provide much more information about the situation with one image than with a thousand words (and much faster too).
You can also sound an SOS alert from your phone in case of distress, and provide additional information for when you switch it on, all of which you can store in advance to make sure you don’t lose time explaining your situation (provided you’re even capable to do so at that point).
iMobile Care is available for the iPhone ($2.99 – iTunes) and smartphones running Android. Support for Blackberry devices and Windows Mobile-equipped phones will be added in the near future.
