NCT ID NCT06530433

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This trial tests whether a new app and device can help community first responders give better CPR during out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. The enhanced system allows two-way audio and one-way video communication with dispatchers, plus real-time feedback on chest compressions. Researchers will compare this to standard CPR support in 165 volunteers to see if it improves compression depth and survival rates.

Active substance

CPRCard device and TCPR Link app

What this could lead to

If it works, this could improve CPR quality and survival rates for people who have a cardiac arrest outside a hospital.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with 165 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The technology may not reduce stress or improve outcomes as hoped.
