“It has already been downloaded 5,000 times despite having only been available for three weeks,” Lakeman reports. “Developed by Dr Daniel Low, a consultant anaesthetist at the Royal United Hospital in Bath, the app asks users a series of questions about the victim and provides instructions on giving the kiss of life.”
