| Chris Seaton, former captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps, developed lifesaving burns app |
A FORMER Army medic has created a pioneering smartphone app which could save the lives of soldiers badly burned on the battlefield.
Chris Seaton, once a captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps, is the mastermind behind the Mersey Burns app.
It lets medics do an exact and rapid calculation to see the precise amount of fluid a burns victim needs – something usually worked out with a pen and paper, which is time consuming and prone to error.
Chris said: “There are people who get burned out in Afghanistan and you can’t get them to a doctor or nurse – and if you get them to a combat medic they are going to be even more flustered than a doctor.
