http://hartveilig.rodekruis.be/

... decreases every minute without CPR with +/- 10%

... is almost zero after 10 minutes without CPR

The EMuRgency Rationale

• +/- 50 reanimations per week by emergency services

• Only 8-10 people survive

• 15-20 could potentially survive if

• Immediate help by layman

• Earlier professional help

“Provide faster help”

Imagine you are walking on the street, and suddenly you hear ambulance sirens. The sound keeps getting closer, and to your surprise, the ambulance stops next to you. A paramedic gets out and says: “Quick, get inside, you're about to have a heart attack!"

BEST SCENARIO

DETECTING CARDIAC ARREST

http://quantifiedself.com/2011/02/hit-%E2%80%93-health-internet-of-things/

Pacemakers, heart-rate watches, smart clothing, ....But also: witnesses of accident calling 112

NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

• Multi-channel location-based notification through smartphones, public displays, ...

• Database of CPR volunteers containing both professionals & layman

• Joint development & implementation of all stakeholders in 3 countries(112, emergency services, schools, ...)

Ringh Mattias, Fredman David, Nordberg Per, Stark Tomas, Hollenberg Jacob, Mobile phone technology identifies and recruits trained citizens to perform CPR on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims prior to ambulance arrival

SMARTPHONE SCENARIO

• How many volunteers to contact?

• Can volunteers decide NOT to accept call-for-help

• Can volunteers decide to shut-the-app down at night?

• In a radius of 300m? 500m? 1000m? ...

• Contact dispatcher service first or peer-to-peer? e.g http://help-app.nl

3 COUNTRIES ARE DIFFERENT

• Dispatching systems

• Laws & privacy

• Resuscitation guidelines, http://www.cprguidelines.eu/

• Landscape and population density

• Mobile providers

• Various lessons learned from previous systems such as SMS Retter, AED Alert, ...

PUBLIC DISPLAY SCENARIOCardiac arrest happening in

railway station

Patients’ clothes, monitoring his vital signs, sends out automatic

notification to 112 & all public infoscreens in the neighbourhood

Message is displayed on infoscreen: “CPR needed on track 6”

RAISE AWARENESS & KNOWLEDGE OF LAYMEN

“Increase confidence and motivation to lower threshold for performing CPR”

“Recruit people for becoming a volunteer ”

Layman?

You...

“Even a professional in health care who does not apply CPR on a daily base is a layman...”

(Dr. Sven Van Poucke, ZOL Genk)
