When CPR is needed, the TCPR Link app empowers registered volunteers and helps them improve CPR performance. TCPR Link provides live feedback on compression rate and hands-off time to help deliver effective CPR and is compatible with most smartphones.
Although TCPR Link can be used standalone, it has been optimized for use by myResponder volunteers who has Laerdal’s CPRcard. In use, the technology can improve survival by activating steps 2 and 3 of the Chain of Survival.
Dispatcher + first responder
Just as any athlete’s performance improves by having a coach, CPR delivery is the same. Emergency Medical Services amplify the impact that volunteers and first responders have on surviving cardiac arrest.
By pairing a volunteer with the experience of the dispatcher, a team of lifesavers is created.
Singapore General Hospital is responsible for the clinical trial, that aims to improve the quality of treatment for cardiac arrest patients in Singapore. The clinical study will take place in 2022-2023, involving trained calltakers and volunteers. The duration of the trial is based on the population size of 5.6 million with ca. 2500 annual out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.
The study will research expectations, needs, acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness of TCPR Link system among calltakersand CPR volunteers. The research questions for the clinical trial covers how the solutions affect the dispatcher-volunteer teamwork and added value for the patient.
All data, including audio and video from CPR activity, will be securely stored, and analyzed for research and QI. The recorded data allows for debriefing and learning.
Where data is stored and streamed:
The data management complies with the GDPR consent requirements and guidelines. The data will only be stored in the cloud if consent is given by the myResponder user.
