It looks like iPhone apps aren’t just for killing time or being productive. They can also help save your life. Dan Woolley survived the earthquake in Haiti by using the iPhone app Pocket First Aid & CPR. Josh Levs of CNN quoted Dan as saying:

“I had an app that had pre-downloaded all this information about treating wounds. So I looked up excessive bleeding and I looked up compound fracture,” Woolley told CNN.

The application on his iPhone is filled with information about first aid and CPR from the American Heart Association. “So I knew I wasn’t making mistakes,” Woolley said. “That gave me confidence to treat my wounds properly.”

Here’s a screenshot of the app, and you can view more screenshots from the Pocket First Aid & CPR page on iTunes Music Store.

The iPhone app, Pocket First Aid & CPR includes:

• Hundreds of pages with illustrations, including topics such as CPR, choking, bites, bruises, burns, seizures, diabetic emergencies, and more.
• High-quality and detailed videos, showing how to respond in critical first aid situations. Videos include choking, CPR, seizures, cuts and wounds, and more.
• All videos, articles and illustrations are stored on your iPhone or iPod Touch, so you can provide first aid even when out of cell phone range.
• Enter your loved one’s medical information on the My Info tab. For each individual, you can save doctors’ contact information, along with hospitals, emergency contacts, allergies, medications, and more. You can also save insurance information for quick access.
• As standards of treatment improve, Pocket First Aid & CPR will be updated to track those changes.
