Each minute without treatment after a heart attack, someone’s chances of survival drop by 10%. A new app uses GPS to ping anyone from a network of thousands of CPR-trained “lifesavers” who happens to be in the neighborhood. The app gives directions to reach the victim, and once a volunteer arrives, it also gives basic instructions for CPR and a metronome to help the volunteer keep the perfect timing. If there’s a defibrillator nearby, some of the volunteers get instructions to bring it to the scene.Get the app (In swedish): http://www.daytona.se/uppdrag/karolinska-institutet -- source link
