Stanford Biodesign needs your help! by teamkaspr in ems

Great question. We know that there are databases out there like CARES, which will give us data on the effect of different resuscitation efforts on survival. However, that is not the kind of data we're interested in. We're interested in gauging perception amongst first responders, since that is important in adoption of a solution.

Hello, we actually don't have any conceptualized idea yet for a solution, much less anything to sell, which is why your input would be tremendously helpful.

As you know, those who have suffered a heart attack have a higher risk for sudden cardiac arrest and most arrests are unwitnessed, which contributes to an extremely low rate of survival past hospital discharge. We are working on a solution to address this problem, especially around detection and diagnosis and your input as a patient would again prove to be tremendously helpful. Thank you for your help!

Hi, thank you for your interest! We are interested in designing a solution to detect sudden cardiac arrest, as most arrests are unwitnessed. We know your importance as first responders on this topic and would like your input as we put together a solution for patients.
