INSIGHT-CPR
Know that your resuscitation strategies are working—every time for every patient.
The challenge of assessing blood flow to the heart during CPR is a critical barrier to successful cardiac arrest resuscitation.
Each year, over 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) occur in the United States.
Unfortunately, 3 out of 4 of these cases do not survive to hospital admission due to rescuers being
unable to restart the patients’ hearts.
To assess how blood is flowing to a patient’s heart, care teams must place invasive arterial catheters. However, this is not always possible due to where the patient is located and/or resource limitations.
Even if arterial catheters are in place, chest compressions can distort diastolic blood pressure measurement, leading to inaccurate assessment of blood flow to the heart by current bedside monitors.
As a result, rescuers today have no real way of knowing whether their resuscitation approach is effective for cardiac arrest patients.
INSIGHT-CPR enables rescuers to assess and refine their resuscitation techniques in real-time, providing every cardiac arrest patient the best chance at survival with good outcomes.
Wearable device mitigates need for complex, invasive monitoring.
Captures and wirelessly transmits real-time diastolic blood pressure information. Available in wrist cuff and bracelet variations. Engineered to withstand defibrillation shocks.
Embedded AI algorithm removes guesswork for rescuers.
Developed at the University of Michigan and trained on diverse sets of adult and pediatric arterial waveform data to accurately detect diastolic blood pressure in real time.
User-friendly mobile dashboard brings data directly to the point of care.
Works with the sensor to provide rescuers at the scene with accurate insight into how blood is flowing to the heart.
“Our goal with INSIGHT-CPR is to fundamentally change how cardiac arrest is treated by removing the need for invasive monitoring, taking out the guesswork for rescuers and tailoring resuscitation strategies to the patient. Even if we can save an additional 10% of cardiac arrest patients, that’s over 60,000 more lives saved each year.”
