The lifesaver iPhone

The lifesaver iPhone

The iPhone is a true lifesaver even during natural disaster. A medical application installed on a US filmmaker’s iPhone helped keep him alive when he was trapped in the debris of the Haiti earthquake.

The survivor, Dan Woolley was caught in the earthquake last week while filming a documentary revealing the poverty happening in Port-au-Prince. He was trapped in the ruins of his hotel and suffered a broken leg and severe head bleeding.

Woolley told MSNBC in Miami that the medical app on his iPhone enabled him to search for self-treatment for his injuries through Jive Media Pocket First Aid and CPR.

The recommended treatments involved making use of daily items to stop the injuries from becoming worse. For example, Woolley told reporters that he used his shirt to tie his broken leg and a sock to ease his head bleeding. There was also other practical treatment to diagnose shock.

In addition, the other iPhone conventional functions came in handy such as the alarm to ring every 20 minutes, preventing Woolley from falling asleep. Finally, he was rescued and pulled out alive after being trapped under the rubble for almost 66 hours.

Thanks to technology today, various functions have been incorporated which may not seem exactly useful in daily life. However, they are always there to aid us in times we never thought we would need them.
