Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a condition that causes more than 300000 deaths per year in EU and the USA. The release of a therapeutic dose of electrical energy is necessary in order to treat sudden cardiac arrest. The Open-Source Automated External Defibrillator analyses patient electrocardiograms combining the results of multiple algorithms in order to establish the condition of sudden cardiac arrest. Computer simulations show that the Open-Source Automated External Defibrillator is capable of detecting sudden cardiac arrest with sensitivity and specify higher that 90%.
In this context, UBORA gave its contribution presenting the paper “Open-Source Automated External Defibrillator” during the 6th National Congress of Bioengineering which was held on June 25th-27th in Milan.
