Emergency
A first aid guide on screen, with a CPR metronome and a tourniquet timer.
Emergency shows the steps of eight first aid situations, one large card each. It keeps a beat for chest compressions, times a tourniquet, and writes a script to read to the emergency operator. It does not call anyone. Its links to emergency numbers open your phone app, where one is set up.
The cartridge id is @mnemosyne-plugins/mnemo-emergency.
This page describes what the cartridge shows. It is not first aid training. The steps quoted below are the cartridge's own words.
The screen
- Emergency Actions: the eight cards.
- Reflex Drills: a quiz of short scenarios.
- Emergency Call: the operator script.
A banner at the top reads Immediate Danger? Dial Emergency Services, with links to 112 (EU), 15 (SAMU), 911 (US/CA) and 999 (UK).

Each card opens its steps. Back to Actions returns to the list.
CPR metronome
Start Metronome beats at 110 per minute. The screen counts Compressions and Cycles (30:2). Two modes sit side by side: 30:2 and Hands-Only. In 30:2, after 30 compressions, the voice says 2 breaths, then resume. In Hands-Only, the count runs on. The screen reads Push hard and fast: 5-6 cm deep in center of chest.
Audio Tick and Voice Coach turn on and off separately. Stop Metronome stops it. A hand gesture, Start CPR Metronome, starts it without touching the screen.
Severe bleeding and the tourniquet timer
The card lists 1. Direct Pressure, 2. Pressure Bandage and 3. Tourniquet (CAT). Mark Tourniquet Placed records the time and shows Tourniquet Active Since: with the time elapsed.
Choking
Three tabs: Adult / Child (> 1 yr), Infant (< 1 yr) and Alone / Self-Rescue. The adult steps are 5 Sharp Back Blows, then 5 Abdominal Thrusts (Heimlich). The infant tab shows its own warning, different from the adult steps.
Emergency Call
The Emergency Dispatcher Script has three fields: My Location / Address:, Nature of Emergency: and Approximate Age / Condition:. Emergency turns them into a script. Copy Call Script copies it. Speak to Me reads it aloud.
Reflex Drills
Random scenarios with a choice of answers. A right answer shows Correct Reflex!. A wrong one shows Dangerous Mistake! with the Fatal Pitfall to Avoid:. The score shows at the top. Restart Drills starts over.
Where your data goes
Emergency writes nothing to disk and nothing to your memory. The script you type stays on screen until you close it.
