Rapid naloxone administration is crucial in reversing an opioid overdose. We investigated whether equipping community members, including people who use opioids (PWUO), with a smartphone application enabling them to signal and respond suspected overdose would support advance of Emrgency Medical Services (EMS).This observational cohort study intervention used dedicated app, UnityPhilly, activated by volunteers witnessing other nearby Philadelphia (March 2019 - February 2020). Alerted chose...
Medical emergencies such as anaphylaxis may require immediate use of emergency medication. Because the low adherence chronic patients (ie, carrying anti-anaphylactic medication) and potentially long response time medical services (EMSs), alternative approaches to provide first aid are required. A smartphone-based community (ERC) was established for with allergies enable members share their automatic adrenaline injector (AAI) other who do not have AAI at onset anaphylactic symptoms. The is...
Abstract Background Child injury is a global public health problem. Children spend 25–50% of their daytime in school and risks accidents are high. The purpose this study to perform comprehensive analysis game-related injuries. Methods A nationwide dataset 36,002 events that occurred Israel between 2013 2019 were served by the National EMS, was used. relations different variables demonstrated using multidimensional frequency tables. Z-tests, chi-square tests, ANOVA J48 classification trees...

A person distress can expect help from two sources: bystanders, including family members, community complete strangers; professionals, emergency medical services, first responders, firefighters, police officers. Emergency Medical Services try achieve faster response times through various approaches....
Background Smartphone-based emergency response apps are increasingly being used to identify and dispatch volunteer first responders (VFRs) medical emergencies provide faster aid, which is associated with better prognoses. Volunteers’ availability willingness respond uncertain, leading in recent studies rates of 17% 47%. Dispatch algorithms that select volunteers based on their estimated time arrival (ETA) without considering the likelihood may be suboptimal due a large percentage alerts...
Child safety in schools is paramount for decision-makers globally, with a focus on ensuring children return home safely. However, the prevalent issue of injuries across educational systems demands comprehensive investigation into their causes, incorporating interdisciplinary perspectives and social dynamics, to develop effective prevention strategies. The objective this study comprehensively analyze factors contributing school-related examine impact school climate student safety. By...
In a Philadelphia neighborhood where opioid overdoses are frequent, neighbors used smartphone app to request and give help for victims of suspected overdose. A one-year study demonstrated the feasibility this approach, which empowered local community save lives even respond faster than emergency medical services.
