Saving lives with a smartphone

In the event of a cardiac arrest, an alert is triggered on the smartphones of volunteer lifesavers located within a radius of around 1,500 metres from the victim. Those who are able to do so, confirm the alarm and make their way as quickly as possible to the victim.

Today, the system has been scientifically proven with excellent results. The research group has succeeded very well in publishing its results. In 2015, two articles were published in NEJM, and in 2017 one in JAMA.
