A Mobile Application Development Mini Project on: First Aid Application

In this report, we present a first aid android app that gives assistance to any person suffering a sudden illness and injury in emergency case. This app provides simple step by step instructions for guide user through everyday first aid scenario. Next, first aid apps provide user the videos and animation for easy learning. The user can call 999 the emergency number for the app at any time. Once the user downloads this android app from the Google Play Store then they can use this app without using internet connection. Preloaded content means the users have instant access to all safety information at any time even without reception or an Internet connection as offline mode. Then, this app provides the interactive quizzes that allow the user to earn rank that they can share with their friends and show off their lifesaving knowledge In emergency case, the user will use what type of illness or injury that happen then simple step by step instructions, animation and videos will provide for each scenario. The user can call 999 the emergency number if illness or injury is more critical and need ambulance. The user can use the step as safety tips and treatment for minor conditions while wait for ambulance arrive at the place. There are many situations that require first aid app and it can be used by untrained person.

We may have only few seconds to save a life when we are in an emergency. Is anything that we can do in an emergency until help arrives? We should do because the only person we may have to depend on is ourselves. First aid is the emergency care given to a victim of injury or sudden illness before professional medical help arrives. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving method or technique useful in many emergencies such as heart attack which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. It is method of combining chest compressions with rescue breathing to maintain a flow of oxygen-rich blood to the brain while the heart is not working.

In Malaysia, the number one killer in terms of diseases and health problems is heart attack. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the total number of deaths in Malaysia resulted from coronary heart disease was at 22,701 in 2010. This makes to about 22.18 percentages of the total deaths in the country. Heart disease is different from stroke which is the second top killer in Malaysia. So, it can make different when everybody know how to do Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Imagine one day that we find our friend lying on the floor and unconscious. We have no idea how long he has been there and then run to call the ambulance. While the ambulance is on their way that person is helpless and we can’t do anything for help him. Wouldn’t you want to possess the skills needed to help save him? Therefore learning CPR skills are important and it could mean the difference between life and death. Furthermore, most popular injuries happen among teenagers and high school students were sling. When our friends break their arms outside, first we have to do is getting the person to support the injured arm with his hand. Next, take the lower end of the bandage up over the hand forearm and tie it in the hollow just above the collarbone. Then, pin the point near the elbow or twist and tuck it in. First aid skill and knowledge is really important in our daily life.

In software engineering, a functional requirement defines a function of a software system or its component. A function is described as a set of inputs, the behaviour, and outputs (see also software). Functional requirements may be calculations, technical details, data manipulation and processing, and other specific functionality that define what a system is supposed to accomplish. Behavioural requirements describing all the cases where the system uses the functional requirements are captured in use cases.

• Android Phone To perform and display the functionality of the project.
• Android studio To create, design, test, debug and run the android project.
• Mouse To navigate through the emulator

• Basic system requirements for Android Studio--- Microsoft, Windows, Mac, Linux.
• Operating System Versio--- Microsoft Windows 7/8/10 (32- or 64-bit).
• The Android Emulator only supports 64-bit Windows Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) or higher, only up to 10.14 (macOS Mojave)
• GNOME or KDE desktop Tested on Linux based on Debian (4.19.67-2 rodete2).
• Random Access Memory (RAM)--- 4 GB RAM minimum; 8 GB RAM recommended.
• Free digital storage--- 2 GB of available digital storage minimum, 4 GB Recommended (500 MB for IDE + 1.5 GB for Android SDK and emulator system image).
• Minimum required--- JDK version Java Development Kit 8
• Minimum screen--- resolution 1280 x 800

Everybody should know how to manage first aid because it is one of the most valuable skills we can ever have. However, not all of us would endeavor to have first aid certification and most would probably think that they don’t need to be certified. After all, common situations like a child falling down would just entail a mother cleaning up the wound and applying a plaster to the wound. But these are just the very basic first aid techniques that everyone knows how to do.

The main objective for the author to develop this application:--

• To develop an application that giving first aid knowledge to the user by using this application.
• To provide global positioning system (GPS) to the nearest hospital.
• To test the user knowledge first aid by provide test for some situation in the application. At this point, it makes sense for everyone to learn first aid skills and require having this knowledge so we can help each other. All we need to do is take advantage of them.
