First Aid Man

UK charity St. John Ambulance estimates that 150,000 people could be dying without appropriate first aid treatment every year. Their survey found that 59% of the people would not be confident while providing First Aid. Even more shocking is the fact that 24% of the people would ignore the patient in need.

The only way to approach this is to provide First Aid that is

1. Accessible
2. Easy to Understand
3. Does not leave the Good Samaritan in a confusion.

Most people wouldnt be searching first aid on the web or downloading first aid apps on their smartphones. So I figured that the best way to aid people with first aid treatment procedures is to:

Make an app on Google Assistant!

The First Aid Man is a Google Assistant app providing the user with 22 different diseases of different severity (from unconsciousness to poisoning). This app makes first aid treatments only an 'Okay Google' away. Since there are some limitations in Dialogflow conversations, I've made use of GitHub.

How this is better

1. If Google Assistant works on your device, you can use First Aid Man
2. The treatments are taken from the Band Aid First Aid Guide. So its very clear.
3. I've tried to make it the easiest for anyone to provide treatment, and I am open for any suggestions that make it even easier. I've put symptoms and pictures to make it easier to understand. ex: There are three kinds of burns: first, second and third degree. Each burn has different treatment but not many would know the difference behind all the three, and they'd end up checking the treatment for each of them. So I've provided symptoms before the treatment screens.
4. People should be able to use this app regardless of their location. If they have network coverage, they should be able to use this app. This is also the reason why the webpages in this repo are very basic, intended to work anywhere anytime.

I've used the treatments from the Band Aid First Aid Guide. So I've only put that info from that file into my app. I have exactly zero medical expertise so if anything is wrong here, all I can do is correct it.
