We present a study comparing the effect of real-time wearable feedback with traditional training methods for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The aim is to ensure that the students can deliver CPR with the right compression speed and depth. On the wearable side, we test two systems: one based on a combination of visual feedback and tactile info...

Out-of-hospital infant cardiopulmonary arrest is a fatal and uncommon event. High mortality rates and poor neurological outcomes may be improved by early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The ongoing debate over two different infant CPR techniques, the two-thumb (TT) and the two-finger (TF) technique, has remained, especially in terms of the ade...

... Another example can be found in the instruction of the particular task at hand, such as in performing resuscitation, where feedback from a wearable can increase the quality of the performed measures. 6 Ensuring safety and adherence to procedures: In order to increase safety, for example, in environments where people work nearby dangerous machinery, states, and information about individual systems can be shown to the user by means of a wearable, thus increasing safety and reducing uncertainty in dealing with the machinery. 10 Wearable sensors can also be used to enhance the user's performance through targeted assistance and customized training plans, as well as by assessing a user's performance in a work environment. ...
Early work in wearables research has often proposed visions in which wearable computers are introduced to support human operators in critical environments such as control rooms, ship bridges, cockpits, or operating rooms. Wearable assistants could for instance present critical task-relevant information to users regardless of their location, help in avoiding procedural errors, or enhance collaborations between multiple operators. In reality, however, such visions have not galvanized: What happened? And could operators’ attitudes and misgivings toward wearables be responsible? The rise of personal wearables in the past years has led to fitness trackers, smartwatches, and other consumer devices being worn by a larger audience, likely also among control room operators. We report in this article on findings from a series of onsite interviews and workshops with professional control room operators to get an insight in their attitude toward wearables, and opinions and current views on the use and adoption of wearable and pervasive technologies in their work environment.
... al. [1], the results presented the fact that using direct feedback manikins and gamification of training session had a significantly positive effect on learner's attitude. Also, multiple studies showed that using feedback devices in CPR training provides a significant improvement in the CPR performance of bystanders and nurses [5,4]. ...
Education is the Achilles heel of successful resuscitation
in cardiac arrest. Therefore, we aim to contribute to the
educational efficiency by providing a novel augmentedreality
(AR) guided interactive cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) "trainer". For this trainer, a mixed reality smart
glass, Microsoft HoloLens, and a CPR manikin covered
with pressure sensors were used. To introduce the CPR
procedure to a learner, an application with an intractable
virtual teacher model was designed. The teaching scenario
consists of the two main parts, theory and practice. In the
theoretical part, the virtual teacher provides all information
about the CPR procedure. Afterward, the user will be asked
to perform the CPR cycles in three different stages. In the
first two stages, it is aimed to gain the muscle memory with
audio and optical feedback system. In the end, the performance
of the participant is evaluated by the virtual teacher.

The Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) is an assessment tool used as a reliable method for clinical competence evaluation of students. This paper presents an investigation focused on the chain of survival, its related exploration, management, and technical skills, and how Virtual Reality (VR) can be used for the creation of immersive environments capable of evaluating students' performance while applying the correct protocols. In particular, the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) procedure is studied as an essential step in the development of the chain of survival. The paper also aims to highlight the limitations of traditional methods using mechanical mannequins and the benefits of the new approaches that involve the students in virtual, immersive, and dynamic environments. Furthermore, an immersive VR station is presented as a new technique for assessing CPR performance through objective data collection and posterior evaluation. A usability test was carried out with 33 clinicians and OSCE evaluators to test the viability of the presented scenario, reproducing conditions of a real examination. Results suggest that the environment is intuitive, quick, and easy to learn and could be used in clinical practice to improve CPR performance and OSCE evaluation.
