First Aid Mobile App in Bahasa Melayu

First aid can be defined as “simple emergency medical care procedures intended for lay rescuers to perform before emergency medical professionals are available. It also may refer to emergency medical providers, such as ambulance and other first responders.” First aid also can be known as emergency medical response and pre-hospital emergency medical care for the victim at bay. Having a decent knowledge in first aid treatment is essential. This is because a single mistake in giving a medical aid to a person can cause a person‟s life. More than 140,000 people in United Kingdom die each year in a situation where first aid could actually saved life. This proves that knowing first aid procedures do help save a person‟s life. The objectives of this project are to research on the common injuries that happens on young Malaysians and best method to teach first aid using mobile application, to develop a Bahasa Melayu medium platform mobile app for young Malaysians who are not well-versed in English with the help of visual aid and to conduct a user acceptance test on the first aid app developed once the mobile application is nearing completion. These objectives are to cater the problems of the lack of awareness towards first aid knowledge among Malaysians and also there is no existing mobile application available for Bahasa Melayu medium in first aid application. First aid mobile application in Bahasa Melayu will be focusing on the treatments of common injuries among young Malaysians and the application will be developed under agile development methodology.
