Stung by a Bee? There is an App for That

Posted on August 21, 2009

Whether exploring deep in the wilderness or traveling abroad, having comprehensive first aid information at your fingertips is always a good thing. It’s especially good when all of the content is stored on the phone and you aren’t dependent on a data connection! This is where iMedjet, Medjet’s new free iPhone app, comes in handy.

With content provided by A Comprehensive Guide to Wilderness and Travel Medicine, published and edited by Adventure Medical Kits, the first-aid portion of the application draws from more than 10 years of research, clinical experience and teaching. First-aid techniques covered in iMedjet application come complete with cross-reference hyperlinks between categories, situational descriptions and various technique illustrations. The techniques range from what to do in the event of an airway obstruction to treatment of stings and bites from various marine-life to burns.

iMedjet also offers mobile medical information storage. This portion of the application is useful not only to the user but can also provide vital information to doctors and emergency professionals in a crisis. Based on the online medical information storage benefit of the MedjetAssist Plus membership, the mobile medical information storage component of this application allows you to upload and organize medical contact information directly from your iPhone’s contacts, detail any pre-existing conditions, record allergies and list medications.

Finally there is the mobile Medjet portion of the application. If you are a Medjet member, the application allows you to record your membership information and provides one-touch access to Medjet emergency phone numbers.

Best of all iMedjet is FREE! Sound interesting? Visit the iTunes App Store and search for iMedjet.

    Are non-iPhone versions of these applications available?

    Great Idea, but can you get it on the Google phone with tmobile?

    Thanks! Blackberry and Google are the next released based on the popularity of the iPhone version. If we do a version of the aforementioned we will let everyone know.

    Would you be able to put a usable link to this accessible by any PC? thanks Ellyn Stecker, MD

    Unfortunately this is developed only as a phone application at the moment. If we do move it towards a web-based service we will certainly let our readers and members know. Thank you for your interest though!

    Is this app available for Google’s G phone?

    A really good idea, thank you… but taking the I-Phone abroad, via ATT presently, is quite expensi ve, especially for downloading data.
    Fine for the States….hopefully, non-Iphone, (or competitively, other carriers for the IPhone) will be forthcoming soon.
