This is one of those stories that we tech-bloggers live to report on, because it shows how technology can save lives.
An American filmmaker named Dan Woolley was stuck for 65 hours in a hotel lobby after the Haiti quake last January 12. He was seriously injured and consulted an iPhone app called Pocket First Aid and CPR, and he learned how to use his shirt to make a tourniquet for the gash in his leg. He also used his sock to stop the bleeding on his head wound. The app told him not to fall to sleep if he was going into shock, so he set his iPhone alarm to go off every twenty minutes.
So, an iPhone app that helps save lives? Not bad. Not bad at all.
