Android Based First Aid App
Introduction
Over the past few years technology really invading the world and greatly improve as time is passing. Everyone uses it from children and teenagers to adult and elders. Technology is vital in today’s world and makes everything easier. It helps people to have a better knowledge, faster ways of locomotion such as motorcycle, train, and airplanes, and communication has facilitated our lies. And today, smart phone device is very popular nowadays which provide a one-stop solution for information management, mobile calls, email sending and even in Internet access. At present, there are lots of problems more specifically when it comes to health particularly when provisioning initial care for an injured person. Lots of people are threatened to give first aid to a victim most especially if they don’t have background of knowledge in it. First aid is a treatment to an injured person up to seeking medical attention. It should give support to the victim and generally consist of a series of a simple and in some cases, potentially live saving techniques that an individual can be trained to perform with minimal equipment.
Purpose (Proposed Solution)
The purpose of this project is to design and develop an informative app that will provide you a skill and knowledge required to provide first aid response, life support management of casualty(s), the incident and other first aiders until emergency qualified help arrives at the scene of the incident. This would be a very big help mostly who triggers awareness in giving amount of information regarding this issue and for everyone to have expertise in first aid case emergency happens.
Benefits
This aims to develop an Application for learning, training and educate users on how are the proper procedures and techniques in giving medical assistance to the person harmed. This will help users for broadening their knowledge and to train them in potentially lifesaving techniques which can be perform with minimal equipment. It triggers the awareness of the users and boosts their spiritual awareness by giving the right of information. Furthermore, the study could be of the importance to the following:
Users: By the use of this Application, users can educate themselves which is mainly focus on first aid treatment.
Future Researchers: The ideas may be presented to the used as reference data in conducting new researches o in testing the validity of other related findings. These studies will also serve as their cross-reference that will give them background or man overview of giving medical assistance and use it as their guide. It will also help students taking computer related courses to identify the best programming language to use. The study can also open on development of this study.
Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework shows the Input-Process-Output model to illustrate the stages of the project development. This will serve as guide in order to materialize the study. We will use Hyrid Development (jQuery Mobile and Apache Cordova) to develop this mobile first aid application. Indicate in this concept framework are the methods on how the application will be develop. The concepts will provide as an instruction to the developers on how the development process will be.
Objectives (Features of the System)
- Simple Step by step (how to) guidelines in conducting first aid.
- Includes quiz/test, to determine what you have learned in the application.
- Works even without internet connection.
- Emergency contact numbers
- Tips and Trivia
Scope and Limitation
- This application will only run on android devices.
Development Tools
Phonegap – is a mobile development framework created by Nitobi. Adobe Systems purchased Nitobi in 2011. It enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, instead of relying on platform-specific APIs like those in iOS, Windows Phone, or Android. It enables wrapping up of HTML, CSS and Javascript code depending upon the platform of the device.
Jquery Mobile – is a touch-optimized web framework (also known as a mobile framework), more specifically a JavaScript library, currently being developed by the jQuery project team. The development focuses on creating a framework compatible with a wide variety of smartphones and tablet computers, made necessary by the growing but heterogeneous tablet and smartphone market. The jQuery Mobile framework is compatible with other mobile app frameworks and platforms such as PhoneGap.
