The initiation of the current chain of survival depends on the presence of a witness of the OHCA, which is not present in 29.7%-63.4% of the cases. Furthermore, a delay in starting this chain is common in witnessed OHCA. This project aims to reduce morbidity and mortality due to OHCA by developing a smartwatch-based solution to expedite the chain of survival in the case of (un)witnessed OHCA.","PeriodicalId":501290,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Emergency Medicine","volume":"272 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138523153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
