PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A new $3.99 iPhone app gives real-time feedback, instructions and prompts to life savers performing CPR.
Bio-Detek Inc., the Rhode Island-based creator of the PocketCPR and now the PocketCPR app, uses patented sensor technology to measure the depth and rate of chest compressions while a person administers CPR. The app works through the iPhone and an attached strap on the hand.
“As you do chest compressions, it literally shows you a gauge that tells you if you are going too shallow, too deep or just right and also provides messages to push faster or slower and when to give breaths,” said Mark Totman, president of Bio-Detek.
