What3words
This free download is one of a growing number of smartphone apps that could mean the difference between life and death. What3Words divides the world into 3x3 metre squares, giving each one a unique combination(组合)of three words. This allows emergency services-or anyone else you give the location to-to reach you. It is used by the vast majority of emergency services in the UK, not to mention other control centres around the world, and has been praised for saving thousands of lives.
Lots of us use WhatsApp for messaging and calling, but did you know it also has a Live Location feature that can let a loved one know where you are in case you’re in danger? You simply press the + key in a chat, select “Location”, and then press “Share Live Location”, which enables anyone in the chat to see your location in real time for the period you choose.
Skin Vision
You will have to pay for this digital skin check app, when necessary or needed, but with about fifth of skin cancers going undiagnosed(未经诊断)during lockdown, it could be well worth it. You simply take a photo of any strange-looking part of the skin with your phone and you’ll then receive a risk indication(风险迹象)within 30 seconds. This might include a recommendation to see a doctor. But don’t rely on an app to comfort you-if you’re worried about a skin problem, go to your doctor.
Stay Alive
With mental health problems on the increase, not helped by the pandemic(大流行病), this suicide(自杀)prevention app could be extremely helpful. Developed by Grassroots Suicide Prevention, it offers a wealth of resources, ranging from suggestions for staying at home when you feel extremely lonely and sad, to breathing exercises, to direct links to national and local crisis resources.
St John Ambulance First Aid
An app like this is more useful for saving someone else’s life than your own,but it’s a must-have on your smartphone. It gives advice in dealing with emergencies, including choking, allergic reactions and performing CPR. You don’t have to have an Internet connection in order to use it.
