Life saving CPR instructions replace the usuale triple 0 in cases of death & worst injuries. Animated download launched by the Red Cross. This new technology, developed by Sony Ericsson is an animated program with an audio voiceover that gives a detailed overview of steps required for CPR. Available through any - Australian mobile phone service, the animation will can be viewed on any handset capable of displaying 176 x 144 pixel video content in the 3GPP file format. Although the Red Cross warns that the content is no substitute for first aid training, Robert Tickner, chief executive said it would "literally put the ability to save a life in the hands of all Australians using their mobile phone". "While we know there is no substitute for an approved First Aid course, it will serve as a crucial prompt should the time arise when people are required to give CPR," he said. Attending the weekend launch was Sherrie McDonald, whose child Abby was saved by a neighbour skilled in First Aid. "This technology means that you can have a reminder of how to perform CPR properly, in your hands, all the time. It's a fantastic piece of information for people to have on their mobiles," she said. The CPR animation costs only $3 and can be purchased directly from the Red Cross website or by texting 'CPR' to 19 951 515.
