Overview
St John Ambulance came to Liquid Interactive with a concept for a series of three iPhone apps to complement their First Aid training course conducted nationally.
First in this three part series of apps was “Mediprofiles”. This free app allows users to save vital information about their friends and family members for quick and easy access in case of emergency.
Process
Profiles could be created using specific fields which St John identified as vital – such as pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, etc. These fields also acted as a guide for users to create comprehensive and organised profiles which could be quickly references.
Users could share profiles with trusted others by email – for example between mothers, sharing mediprofiles of their children before going to a playdate. Fields from the profile could be added / removed before the profile was sent.
A number of additional features were considered for this app but eventually rejected. It was important to consider external factors which could impact the app, especially when dealing with critical medical information.
