The EMuRgency project aims to decrease the time between cardiac arrest and the start of resuscitation through new approaches for resuscitation support and training. It involves developing a notification system using smartphones and public displays to quickly alert nearby trained volunteers and professionals when cardiac arrest occurs. The goal is to recruit more volunteers and increase public knowledge of CPR to improve survival rates. The project is a collaboration between universities and hospitals in Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany.

3. FACT
If you get a cardiac arrest
outside the hospital...
You have a survival chance of
5 à 10%
4. FACTS
Chances for survival…
… increases through
immediate CPR to 50 à 70%
... decreases every minute
without CPR with +/- 10%
... is almost zero after 10
minutes without CPR

5. The EMuRgency Rationale
A 36M socio-technological innovation project in e-health
• +/- 50 reanimations per week
by emergency services
• Only 8-10 people survive
• 15-20 could potentially survive if
• Immediate help by layman
• Earlier professional help

6. DECREASE TIME BETWEEN CARDIAC
ARREST & START OF RESUSCITATION
“Provide faster help”
time
7. BEST SCENARIO
Imagine you are walking on the street, and suddenly
you hear ambulance sirens. The sound keeps getting
closer, and to your surprise, the ambulance stops next
to you. A paramedic gets out and says: “Quick, get
inside, you're about to have a heart attack!"

8. DETECTING CARDIAC ARREST
Pacemakers, heart-rate watches, smart clothing, ....
But also: witnesses of accident calling 112

9. NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
Ringh Mattias, Fredman David, Nordberg Per, Stark Tomas, Hollenberg Jacob, Mobile phone technology identifies and recruits trained
citizens to perform CPR on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims prior to ambulance arrival
• Multi-channel location-based notification through smartphones, public
displays, ...
• Database of CPR volunteers containing both professionals & layman
• Joint development & implementation of all stakeholders in 3 countries
(112, emergency services, schools, ...)
10. SMARTPHONE SCENARIO
• How many volunteers to contact?
• Can volunteers decide NOT to accept call-for-help
• Can volunteers decide to shut-the-app down at night?
• In a radius of 300m? 500m? 1000m? ...
• Contact dispatcher service first or peer-to-peer?
e.g http://help-app.nl
11. 3 COUNTRIES ARE DIFFERENT
• Dispatching systems
• Laws & privacy
• Resuscitation guidelines, http://www.cprguidelines.eu/
• Landscape and population density
• Mobile providers
• Various lessons learned from previous systems such as SMS
Retter, AED Alert, ...
12. PUBLIC DISPLAY SCENARIO
Cardiac arrest happening in
railway station
Patients’ clothes, monitoring his vital
signs, sends out automatic
notification to 112 & all public
infoscreens in the neighbourhood
Message is displayed on infoscreen: “CPR needed on track 6”
13. RAISE AWARENESS & KNOWLEDGE OF LAYMEN
“Increase confidence and motivation to lower threshold for performing CPR”
“Recruit people for becoming a volunteer ”
14. Layman?
Not only
You...
“Even a professional in health care who does not apply CPR
on a daily base is a layman...”
(Dr. Sven Van Poucke, ZOL Genk)
15. HOW TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE?

16. HOW TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE
• Educational innovations for
first aid training
(mobile & game based
learning) CPR &
• Setup
of a EMR school
network for training
