A machine learning algorithm running on a smartwatch demonstrated the ability to detect sudden loss of pulse with high specificity (99.99%) and moderate sensitivity (67.23%), according to a study led ...

A smart-technology wearable wristband device may be able to automatically detect cardiac arrest, which could lead to faster medical assistance and increased survival odds when cardiac arrest occurs ...

In a population-based study, nearly 60% of US children receiving emergency medical services (EMS) care for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) experienced at least one severe adverse safety event ...

BACKGROUND: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a key link in the chain of survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). While bystander CPR initiated within 10 minutes is ...
