Medbasics: iPhone App for infant safety

RN Tara Summers was inspired to make an iPhone app after a frightening episode where she saw her infant child choking. Because she was a nurse, she sprang into action and gave the Heimlich maneuver, but worried about parents (or babysitters) without the same training.

So, along with her emergency medicine physician husband, she created MedBasics – a readily accessible information packet for the home about things to do in an emergency. Now, they’re announcing an iPhone app called BabyMedBasics, for emergencies when you’re not at home.
