Is this app suitable for people without medical training?

Yes. The General First Aid section covers essential skills anyone can learn, including bleeding control, CPR, and when to call 911. Advanced TCCC procedures are also included for trained medics.

Does this replace professional medical training?

No. This is a reference tool, not a training program. Take a Stop the Bleed course and TCCC training for hands-on skills. Use this app as a quick reference in the field.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. After the first load, all content is cached offline. You can access procedures, protocols, and reference tables without any connection.
