iPhone app saved a man trapped in Haiti rubble

This is a unusual post from MacHackPC. The story is very touchy and it has some thing to do with iPhone. So, I thought of writing few lines..

Dan Woolley, U.S. filmmaker was shooting a documentary about the impact of poverty in Haiti when the earthquake struck. He could have died, but he ultimately survived with the help of an iPhone first-aid app that taught him to treat his wounds.

Dan Woolley was caught under a pile of rubble when the earthquake hit, injuring both his leg and his head. A first-aid app instructed him on the best way to create a tourniquet for his leg and a bandage for his head, and even warned him against falling asleep after head trauma—so he set his iPhone’s alarm clock to go off every 20 minutes as a precaution.

In Mr. Woolley’s case, an iPhone app turned him into an amateur medic to help him survive from a natural disaster. We are still not sure, what App was Mr. Wolley used. But, once we get that info we will keep you posted.
