Impack-CPR
Autonomous Cardiac Compression Localization
Patented technology for real-time determination of optimal chest compression location.
The Problem
Optimal chest compressions must be centered over the left ventricle. Even a few centimeters of deviation significantly reduces cardiac output and survival. Current guidelines use anatomical landmarks that don't account for individual variation.
Our Approach
Using multi-electrode arrays, we measure ECG signal amplitude patterns to localize the left ventricle in real-time. The system provides visual guidance or can position mechanical CPR devices automatically.
Innovation
First system to provide patient-specific compression targeting using non-invasive electrical signals, protected by international patent.
