CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, pumps oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the rest of the body and brain, and can be the difference between life and death.
St John wants everyone to have immediate access to these fundamental lifesaving skills with their new CPR app which is available for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone handsets.
“CPR is simple to do but in the heat of the moment it’s easy for your mind to go blank and that’s where this app will be a vital prompt and guide,” says St John Medical Director, Tony Smith.
The simple, user-friendly instructions make the app easy to follow with innovative features such as beeping and vibrating ‘CPR Timing Assist’ to help with consistent chest compressions and instructions can be spoken aloud from your phone*.
Other options include Adult, Child and Infant CPR tutorials and the ability to set up your own emergency services phone number (useful when travelling overseas).
The CPR app is available FREE from the iTunes store, Google Play or WindowsPhone.com.
