Drops First Aid is a beautifully designed iPhone app, part of the Drops learning platform by Dynamisk Helse from Norway. The app guides and teaches you about the steps & checks that need to be undertaken in an emergency situation and does so in a very simple, easy and straightforward way. The app has been designed & developed by the talented folks at Tight.
There are no long articles to read, no 30-minute videos to sit through or no boring instructions. Drops presents simple, brief & precise summaries that teach you exactly what you need to know about the basics. There are five scenarios to learn about —
- Unconscious Person
- Foreign object stuck in throat
- Stroke
- First person at the accident scene
- Internal Bleeding
Tapping on each scenario slides down the remaining cells to reveal immediate summary of steps to undertake. There’s an option to Play Through the scenario that lets you view videos & follow along step by step. The videos are professionally shot with great lighting specifically for the app using Red cameras, and they look great. You can view exactly what steps you can carry out and how to do them. Alternatively, you can read concise instructions in the text form as well. These steps may prove to be immensely useful should you find yourself in such a scenario.
The app has a very beautiful UI and a nice, elegant color scheme. It’s spiffy and works great. There’s an option to remind you again in 30 days to learn again, so you’re always up to date with the instructions. Drops First Aid is just $1.99 on the App Store.
