Heart Compression Assistant

HVAD? Produktet kan afhjælpe frygten for at yde hjertelungeredning og dermed forbedre overlevelseschancerne for den ramte.

HVORDAN? Ved at integrere empatiske aspekter og funktionelt design løser H. C. A et praktisk problem, som handler om at minimere de kostbare sekunder eller minutter, hvor man som vidne til et hjertestop tøver i stedet for at handle.

HVORFOR? Selv om de har en hjertestarter ved hånden, viser undersøgelser, at kun 1% har modet til at anvende den. Det koster afgørende minutter og måske liv.

WHAT? The product helps people overcome the fear of providing CPR, improving the chances of recovery for the patient.

HOW? By integrating empathy aspects and functional design H. C. A solves the practical problem of minimising the valuable seconds or minutes when a witness to a cardiac arrest hesitates instead of taking action.

WHY? Even with access to an automated external defibrillator, studies show that only 1 % have the confidence to use it, missing that small window for successful resuscitation.
