Mobile phone a 'life-saver'

Mobile phones can issue life-saving CPR instructions thanks to a new animated download launched by the Red Cross on Sunday, reports The Syndey Morning Herald.

"The technology, available through any Australian mobile phone service, is an animated program with an audio voiceover that gives a detailed overview of steps required for CPR.

Although the Red Cross warns that the content is no substitute for first aid training, Robert Tickner, chief executive said it would "literally put the ability to save a life in the hands of all Australians with a mobile phone".
