Mobile phone CPR instructions ‘could save lives’
In what is being billed as a world first, instructions for life-saving CPR can now be downloaded to a mobile phone under a new initiative developed by the Red Cross.
People will be able to download animated instructions from a website onto their phone on how to revive someone in an emergency.
The technology was developed by a Tasmanian company.
Red Cross spokeswoman, Virginia Leafe, says the service is no substitute for first aid training, but works as a potentially life-saving prompt.
