Dynamo Games has created Mobi-Medic, a first aid guide which can be downloaded onto mobile phones, ensuring potentially life-saving information is always at hand.

For £5, a mobile phone user can download the information, which is then stored permanently, to be at hand whenever needed.

The product has already earned the support of the British Red Cross, who said that the device was the perfect way of carrying life-saving first aid advice.
