By now most people know that the iPhone is one of the most versatile smartphones on the market. But what you may not know about the iPhone is that there are several great applications that not only make the iPhone easier to use, but they can also help to save lives.
One of the more advanced applications this program is intended for doctors but can also serve to put new parents at ease. One of the purposes of this app is to let a doctor en route to a hospital know how mother and baby are doing until they can see them firsthand. It sends the vitals to the doctor and lets them give instructions in case of a problem.

Unlike Airstrip OB, this is an application that just about anyone can use to help save a life. This is a free application that has a variety of different video demonstrations that will help anyone know what they must do if someone has an emergency that is medical related or they are going into cardiac arrest.

This is something that is similar to the CPR and Choking application, but this includes other procedures in case of an emergency. At $3.99, it’s a bargain for the peace of mind of knowing that you have everything you need right at your fingertips. Along with first aid videos, it gives you the option to make profiles on friends and family and it comes with only the most updated information from the AHA.

Emergency Radio
Almost anyone knows what it’s like to lose power and not have access to the latest information and news. With this application on your iPhone, you are going to have access to all of the emergency frequencies on the radio, along with the emergency and police departments across the country. This is an application that anyone can afford, since it is only $.99. It is going to be money well spent.

Pet First Aid
For anyone who has a cat or a dog in their house, they know how things can happen to them as easily as they can happen to their spouse or children. This is a must have application for anyone who has a beloved pet, and it’s one that may just save your pet’s life.

These are five applications for the iPhone that may make a difference in the lives of people around you. You never know when you may become a hero simply because you decided to add one of these applications to your iPhone. Even if you never have to use any of them, its reassuring to know that you have something that can assist in times or emergencies.
As with anything that involves any medical relevance it is important to talk with a health care professional before engaging in any activity that may cause harm to yourself or anyone else for that matter.
The iPhone apps never seem to amaze me, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
