Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Automated cardiac arrest detection and emergency service alerting using device-independent smartwatch technology: proof-of-principle
Authors' conclusion
This study demonstrates the feasibility of detecting circulatory arrest using commercially available smartwatch sensors, achieving high sensitivity and specificity.
Study context
- Population
- Volunteers with temporarily restricted arm blood flow (cuff), patients undergoing cardioplegic cardiac arrest for heart surgery, and domestic swine slaughtered in food industryanalysed
- Participants
- 19 volunteers
- Outcome
- Detection of circulatory arrest
Methodological detailsproof-of-principle
- Proof-of-principle
Performance
As reported in the abstract
Circulatory arrests correctly identified, all three groups
28 of 31
Further findings
Emergency alerting via HartslagNu test environment
- Triggering a circulatory arrest consistently resulted in an audiovisual smartwatch alarm and an instantaneous alert to the virtual emergency medical services (EMS)
