Wow… Safety Mate Talking First Aid Guide… it’s must have gadget, right….
Don’t be too cynical – having a device coach you through an emergency is actually quite helpful!
But that being said, EIDs (Emergency Instruction Devices) work even better with those who’ve taken a First Aid/CPR course and it doesn’t replace 911/emergency response!
