First Aid Box covers a wide range of health topics, from relatively trivial injuries to various emergency traumas.

This application can be best described as an e-book – in the form of an application. There are introductory passages about general rules that first aid practitioners need to follow. Tapping through to the “Categories” section then lists the health topics covered by the application.

Talking of the topics, all but one topic refers to emergency events. The one non-emergency topic being Diarrhoea, not that this doesn’t deserve a medical reference. However, I found it strange that this was the only non-emergency condition covered, when things like allergies and common cold treatments are just as valid, since the authors went beyond emergency topics.

With that in mind, my description of an e-book in the form of an application becomes more relevant. I can only recommend using this application as a reference to become familiar with, before an emergency arises. If you are going to keep this as a safety net in the event of an emergency, you may well find yourself hard-pushed to be an effective first aider by simply reading from this application in-situ.
