Android Based First Aid App Capstone Documentation

Introduction

Over the past few years technology really invading the world and greatly improve as time is
passing. Everyone uses it from children and teenagers to adult and elders. Technology is vital in
today’s world and makes everything easier. It helps people to have a better knowledge, faster ways
of locomotion such as motorcycle, train, and airplanes, and communication has facilitated our lies.
And today, smart phone device is very popular nowadays which provide a one-stop solution for
information management, mobile calls, email sending and even in Internet access. At present,
there are lots of problems more specifically when it comes to health particularly when
provisioning initial care for an injured person. Lots of people are threatened to give first aid to a
victim most especially if they don’t have background of knowledge in it. First aid is a treatment to
an injured person up to seeking medical attention. It should give support to the victim and
generally consist of a series of a simple and in some cases, potentially live saving techniques that
an individual can be trained to perform with minimal equipment.

Purpose (Proposed Solution)

The purpose of this project is to design and develop an informative app that will provide you a
skill and knowledge required to provide first aid response, life support management of casualty(s),
the incident and other first aiders until emergency qualified help arrives at the scene of the
incident. This would be a very big help mostly who triggers awareness in giving amount of
information regarding this issue and for everyone to have expertise in first aid case emergency
happens.

Benefits

This aims to develop an Application for learning, training and educate users on how are the proper
procedures and techniques in giving medical assistance to the person harmed. This will help users
for broadening their knowledge and to train them in potentially lifesaving techniques which can be
perform with minimal equipment. It triggers the awareness of the users and boosts their spiritual
awareness by giving the right of information. Furthermore, the study could be of the importance to
the following:

Users: By the use of this Application, users can educate themselves which is mainly focus on first
aid treatment.

Future Researchers: The ideas may be presented to the used as reference data in conducting new
researches o in testing the validity of other related findings. These studies will also serve as their
cross-reference that will give them background or man overview of giving medical assistance and
use it as their guide. It will also help students taking computer related courses to identify the best
programming language to use. The study can also open on development of this study.
Conceptual Framework

The conceptual framework shows the Input-Process-Output model to illustrate the stages of the
project development. This will serve as guide in order to materialize the study. We will use Hyrid
Development (jQuery Mobile and Apache Cordova) to develop this mobile first aid application.
Indicate in this concept framework are the methods on how the application will be develop. The
concepts will provide as an instruction to the developers on how the development process will be.

Objectives (Features of the System)

1. Simple Step by step (how to) guidelines in conducting first aid.

2. Includes quiz/test, to determine what you have learned in the application.
3. Works even without internet connection.
4. Emergency contact numbers
5. Tips and Trivia

Scope and Limitation

1. This application will only run on android devices.

Development Tools

Phonegap - is a mobile development framework created by Nitobi. Adobe Systems purchased

Nitobi in 2011. It enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using
JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, instead of relying on platform-specific APIs like those in iOS,
Windows Phone, or Android. It enables wrapping up of HTML, CSS and Javascript code
depending upon the platform of the device.

Jquery Mobile - is a touch-optimized web framework (also known as a mobile framework), more
specifically a JavaScript library, currently being developed by the jQuery project team. The
development focuses on creating a framework compatible with a wide variety of smartphones and
tablet computers, made necessary by the growing but heterogeneous tablet and smartphone market.
The jQuery Mobile framework is compatible with other mobile app frameworks and platforms
such as PhoneGap.
