CPR mannequin compression effectiveness feedback

Around 30,000 Australians suffer a sudden cardiac arrest each year. Out of these 30,000, only 9-10% of these people survive. This is because they were lucky enough to be around someone with basic CPR fundamentals. The majority of Australians are not educated in the basic form of CPR and would not be able to save the life of their neighbour in time if this event occurs.

Solution Description

Create a mobile application with the purpose of providing basic CPR training by monitoring their progress and providing results based on their performance. Suit functionality and appearance to the client’s (Paul Middleton) needs. The hardware used needs to be relatively cheap as the mannequins will be mass produced to provide Australians with a cheap and affordable method of learning CPR without having to take a qualification course.

The application will need to display the following:

  • Compressions per minute
  • Compression depth
  • Total compressions in the set time limit
  • Full release compressions

The relevant information will be stored in the local database as proof of completion.

In the proceeding group, the user will also be able to upload their results to the website database to show official recordings of successfully completed CPR.

Technologies Used

Android Studio – The IDE used to develop the application.

Microbit – Implement a UART service into the code of the microbit to provide Bluetooth service and receive the input data from the linear potentiometer.

Linear Potentiometer – Connect to the microbits I/O pins to provide user input data.
