First Minutes, an emergency app for the minutes before help arrives

Editorial interest 88/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free offline web app for dive and boat emergencies, organizing emergency calls, oxygen guidance, read-aloud scripts, and time-stamped notes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-09 issue.

Field notes

The app is structured around four emergency tasks rather than a general medical reference: calling, oxygen-related guidance, speaking to the hotline, and recording events. Its country layer supplies an ambulance number and a diving hotline, along with the country and checking date; its injury index is explicitly presented as a lookup aid rather than a diagnostic engine. The site also says location is requested only after numbers are visible and that notes never leave the phone.
