Intuitive First-Aid assistance Intuaid will support the entire rescue chain.
The Intuaid Project aims on the development of an application for mobile devices that will provide intuitive assistance on first aid combined with professional documentary and communication features. Therefor it will be available in a number of different versions that provide assistance on first aid in order to lower the public’s inhibition of getting involved in a first-aid case, as well as to no
n-medical crews of volunteer rescue services and even professional rescue services which will benefit from its documentary and communication features. Intuaid shall help acutely diseased and injured people by promoting early and specific treatment by lay persons within minutes after an incident. Through automatic documentation of case information and adequate means of visualization and communication the following elements of the rescue chain shall be informed in a competent and efficient way. Intuaid shall assist where medical emergencies happen absent from sufficient rescue service coverage. This may apply to rural regions, recreational activities in the wilderness and on the water as well as in commercial areas like shipping, aviation or in the offshore sector, where environments with a significant higher risk of injury go together with limited availability of professional rescue services and and long transport times. Intuaid shall support volunteering in rescue services and civil protection by giving free licenses to organizations and dedicated people worldwide. With assistance in medical care, case documentation and patient data communication Intuaid shall act as a reliable tool for quality improvement in volunteer work and shall recognize the dedicated and unpaid work of voluntary crews worldwide. It is Intuaid’s goal to strengthen especially services in developing countries which often operate on very limited budgets.
