Emergency and medical personnel can be summoned in the United States to respond to an emergency situation by dialing “9-1-1” from any telephone. Although every effort is taken to minimize response time to the emergency situation, an appreciable amount of time may pass between the moment the initial call is made and when the emergency and medical personnel actually arrive at the scene of the emergency situation. The treatment window for certain health conditions (e.g., stroke) can be very small and it can be important to immediately administer medical aid while waiting for the emergency and medical personnel. However, the average person may not be knowledgeable about how to respond to various emergency situations.
Therefore, what is needed is a system that can help the average person administer medical aid while waiting for the arrival of emergency and medical personnel.
