Development of a Child Care and First Aid Training Mobile Application for Caregivers

Caregivers, including relatives, babysitters, and nannies, lack quick, engaging, and effective tools to learn, refresh, and confidently apply child-specific first aid skills. Existing resources are insufficient for real-time emergencies and ongoing knowledge reinforcement, creating a critical need for a tailored, accessible digital platform that supports emergency response with rapid access to information and training refreshers.

A mid-sized non-profit organization focused on community health education and emergency preparedness, aiming to empower caregivers with accessible lifesaving skills.

• Design and develop a mobile-first platform delivering interactive, bite-sized child care and first aid training modules that improve knowledge retention and real-world application.
• Implement features such as quick-access emergency response guides, a persistent emergency call button, and secure storage of child medical information.
• Enable ongoing certification management, including digital certificates, renewal reminders, and easy access to training resources.
• Build a scalable, secure, and flexible content management and analytics infrastructure to support dynamic content updates and user engagement insights.
• Achieve measurable improvements in caregiver confidence and emergency readiness through platform analytics and user feedback.

The new mobile platform is expected to significantly enhance caregiver confidence in managing child emergencies, increasing active lesson and quiz completions, and reinforcing lifesaving skills. It aims to improve emergency response readiness across caregiver populations, leading to higher incident preparedness and potentially saving lives. Continuous data analytics will enable iterative improvements, ensuring the platform remains effective, engaging, and relevant over time.
