Field Atlas 1.4.9

Emergency first aid opens the right guide more often. Field Atlas answers questions on your Android phone without an
internet connection; 1.4.9 fixes six safety reports in which an urgent question opened the wrong first-aid guide, or
none at all.

What's new

• Someone found hanging or face down opens CPR. "found my brother hanging" opened no guide, and "found my baby
  face down in the crib and hes not moving" opened the water rescue. Both now open CPR and show the call line first.
  "Found my keys hanging on the hook" and "my phone is face down" open nothing.
• A stroke or a swelling throat is no longer read as choking. "suddenly cant speak and his right arm is weak" opens
  the stroke guide, and "her face is swelling up and she cant breathe" opens anaphylaxis. Someone choking on food
  still gets back blows.
• A high blood sugar no longer opens the low-sugar guide, whose first step is to eat sugar. A low reading, or too
  much insulin, still opens it.
• A fever is not hypothermia. "his body temperature is 104 and hes not making sense" opens the heat guide instead
  of the warming steps. A child's fever stays on the fever guide. Cold weather in Fahrenheit ("39 degrees and
  raining, soaked and shivering") still opens hypothermia.
• A person shaking on the floor is a seizure, not an earthquake. "shes on the floor shaking and cant respond"
  opens the seizure guide; "the whole house is shaking" still opens the earthquake guide.
• Someone who fell in water and is shivering is warmed. "fell in the river, water temperature was 40 degrees, now
  shivering hard" opened the guide for making water safe to drink. It now opens hypothermia.
• The question classifier follows the same rules. When the rules decide a guide does not fit ("my baby has rsv
  and cant breathe" is not choking), the classifier can no longer reopen it.

The reports came from swiftbotlabs (issues #14 to #19). Most of the fix was contributed by mak777uh in pull request #23.

How much better?

Our own check, not an independent score: 320 labelled emergency questions, each with the guide it should open.

Good to know

• Nothing else changed. Search, answers, packs and downloads are the same as in 1.4.8.
• Tested on a 12 GB Android emulator. Not yet on a real phone.
• Answers can be wrong. Nothing here is medical advice. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
