Abstract
Effective initial management of burn injuries is essential for minimizing tissue damage, reducing pain, and improving long-term outcomes. The increasing integration of mobile technology in healthcare has led to the development of innovative digital tools designed to support emergency care. A Burnaid mobile application is a specialized tool aimed at assisting rst responders, healthcare professionals, and laypersons in the early assessment and treatment of burns. This app provides real-time, evidence-based guidance on burn rst aid, including cooling protocols, burn size estimation, severity classication, and referral criteria aligned with clinical guidelines. Its features also support education, documentation, and communication between prehospital providers and receiving facilities. Preliminary studies and user feedback suggest that the app improves adherence to burn rst aid standards and enhances triage accuracy, particularly in resourcelimited or remote settings. This article explores the clinical utility, educational role, and integration of the Burnaid mobile app within existing burn care frameworks and discusses future directions for its development and implementation in global digital health strategies.
