Mindmaps

Before working in groups on the application we chose, we each made a mindmap on the theme "help collaboration between countries to exchange medical data/practice" with 10 links concerning this topic. This mindmap allowed each of us to have a more precise idea of what this theme was. It was the basis for the construction of our application.

  • Nicolas' mindmap
  • Eliott's mindmap
  • Pierre's mindmap
  • Paul's mindmap
  • Quentin's mindmap

    • Project definitions

    We realised that many people do not know what to do when they are faced with an emergency. In particular, when some people are faced with a critical situation and are on the phone with the emergency services, the lack of pictures and clear steps makes them panic and they don't act in the right way.

    It is in this context that we have designed our application. The Help! application illustrates what to do in this situation.

    Furthermore, it allows you to contact the emergency services directly without having to look up the number if you are in an area where the number is unknown. Indeed, we have noticed that many people do not know the emergency call number when they are in a foreign country.

    Finally, another feature of the application is the "nearest hospital" section, with a redirection to applications such as waze or google maps to guide the person facing an emergency situation to know where to take the victim without having to look for other information. Indeed, when people are faced with an emergency, they are generally stressed and therefore can take a very long time to find the nearest hospital.

    Wireframes

    Then, we started to create wireframes for our application. Wireframes are used to give us a quick and logical overview of what the application will look like. They are very simple and do not contain (much) graphical detail at this stage of the design. Here are ours !

    This is what our first wireframe looked like :

    And then we worked on it to design the interface :

    As you can see, the idea was to make the app responsive to help people when they are in a stressful situation

    Mockups

    Here are our Mockups. They are used to give a real preview of what the application will look like. They take into account the colors as well as the interactions between the different "pages" of our application.

    So this is what we wanted to look like : a simple design with different choices to allow the use to select quickly what he needs :

    And we also give pieces of advice about the less critical injuries.

    With the "call emergency" and "go to the hospital" functions, we designed it with the same idea : making the app the easiest possible to use :

    Usertests

    For the test part of the application, we first described the application to the respondents as in the "project definitions" part.

    Then we asked them general questions about their experiences in emergency situations. These allowed us to understand that most of them are concerned about the possibility of dealing with an emergency situation abroad and more particularly that this situation has already happened to some of them and that they had difficulties in understanding the instructions of the emergency person.

    For the questions concerning the application itself and its possible usefulness, we learned from these user tests that this idea may be of interest to some of them since no one has ever used such an application.

    Finally, in order to make an overall assessment of these testimonies, we can say that the application can be useful and that the concept is good even if some elements need to be reviewed such as the difficulty to find the gestures to be performed between "first aid gestures" and "other gestures".

    Going Further

    For the future, we have thought of several areas of development. First of all, we would like to succeed in creating our artificial intelligence, which was our initial idea. It could be used in situations (admittedly much rarer) where the user does not have a network, for example when hiking in the mountains.

    On the other hand, we also asked ourselves about different problems that our users could encounter. For example: how to make a user travel in a foreign country without speaking the language and meet difficulties in understanding what the Samu says.
