"When Dan Woolley, a Colorado aid worker and filmmaker, found himself trapped in a Haiti hotel after the devastating earthquake on January 12, he wasn&amp;#039;t sure if he would make it out alive. He was trapped alone underneath the ruins of the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince. If that wasn&amp;#039;t bad enough, there was also blood streaming from his head and leg. He then remembered that he had downloaded the app, &amp;quot;Pocket First Aid &amp;amp;amp; CPR&amp;quot;, on his iPhone. The Jive Media application provides information on treating wounds, and with just a few keystrokes, Woolley was able to find out how to control his bleeding. He used his shirt to bandage his leg, and a sock to help stop the bleeding on his head. After 2\u00BD days of being stuck in the rubble, Woolley was rescued. He has the relief workers\u2014and his iPhone\u2014to thank for his survival. Below, find a list of other iPhone apps that could save your life (or someone else&amp;#039;s).
