In the event of a sudden medical emergency, there's an unfortunately small chance that any of the surrounding bystanders will have first aid training, which is why Mobilize Rescue Systems has released its intelligent first aid kit, the Comprehensive Rescue System. The kit uses artificial intelligence to perform triage and walk bystanders through the steps of first response treatment, helping even those without any medical knowledge to perform in emergency situations.
Mobilize Rescue Systems' first aid kit comes with all the necessities for both the care provider and the patient, all of which is clearly labelled with large-print numbers and letters (with the assumption that those making use of the equipment might not be familiar with the terminology). The kit has a touchscreen built into the underside of the lid, and that screen walks people through the steps of treatment.
