Summary: Crowdsourcing CPR and early defibrillation using a simple smartphone app can save a life. Learn how high-performing crowdsourcing models are making a difference around the world and how you can introduce a crowdsourcing model in your own community.
Synopsis: Smartphones have become an everyday part of our lives. Now, with the addition of a simple app integrated with your EMS dispatch system, these smartphones have become a lifesaving tool able to alert volunteer bystanders that someone nearby needs CPR. The use of these smart technologies are one of the 10 steps recommended by the Resuscitation Academy and Global Resuscitation Alliance with many EMS and ambulance services embracing this technology to enable them to crowdsource volunteer bystanders and reduce time to CPR and early defibrillation, particularly to those suffering a cardiac arrest at home. This presentation will explore high-performing crowdsourcing models around the world and provide a framework to guide attendees on introducing a model in their own community.
