Hi everyone! This will actually be my first post. I've always wanted to be an EMT (even though I want to be an engineer by profession). I am currently a volunteer member of my local ambulance corps, and I wish to continue this when I go to college in a year.
In my experience, there have been times when a patient is unconscious or weak and unable to talk clearly. When we're filling out the patient care report, it's often difficult to actually understand the individual.
So, I thought up the idea of storing medical information and contacts on your cell phone. After doing a Google search, I already noticed the "ICE" thing (In Case of Emergency Contacts); however, my idea is different. Instead of just storing people to call, you could also store your full name, address, physician, allergies, medical conditions, and other data that would be important to the responding emergency personnel.
Does anyone have advice as to how I can promote my idea? I've already made a website (I coded this on my own ) and a Facebook Page. I was planning on calling some phone companies to see if any of them would be willing to implement this, but I think I should gain some attention to the cause first.
Thanks for your help.
