88% of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) incidents occur outside of hospitals, with survival rates less than 10%. However, the survival rates can be doubled (or even tripled) if Effective CPR is initiated immediately by a bystander or EMS.

Chest compression aims to restore blood flow to the brain and prevent permanent damage. Even Hands-Only CPR has proved to be as effective as the conventional CPR of mouth-to-mouth procedure.

Unfortunately, in many cases, people are intimidated and do not provide CPR at all. In the remaining cases, they provide ineffective CPR. The correct compression depth of 5 – 6 cm is difficult to gauge even for professionally-trained rescuers.

Beaty

Beaty is a medical device developed by Medical Feedback Technologies Ltd.

Designed for lay-rescuers, Beaty increases the sense of capability and confidence among its’ users by employing innovative, custom-made pressure sensors to give real-time audio feedback on the effectiveness of CPR performed during the rescue, allowing adjustments to the recommended compression depths of lay-rescuers.

It’s remarkably easy to use – place Beaty between the palm and in the middle of the victim’s chest. When the pressure depth of 5 cm is reached, a beep sounds.
