Inspiration
-
Where did I get the idea for the app? I got the inspiration for the app while doing a work First Aid coruse. In one of the handouts, it listed the number for the Poision Control Center in Baumount Hospital in Dublin. It got me thinking that if someone you knew was poisoned, time would be cruical. How long would it take to to look up the number in the phone book. In just 3 taps, you could have an expierenced person on the line to HELP!
