Impact of dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation and myResponder mobile app on bystander resuscitation.

Introduction: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (B-CPR) is associated with improved out-of hospital cardiac arrest survival. Community-level interventions including dispatcher-assisted CPR (DA-CPR) and myResponder were implemented to increase B-CPR. We sought to assess whether these interventions increased B-CPR.

myResponder Smartphone Application to Crowdsource Basic Life Support for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: The Singapore Experience.

The Singapore myResponder is a novel smartphone application developed by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) that notifies volunteer first responders of a suspected out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) case and locations of Automated External Defibrillators (AED) in the vicinity so that they can assist with resuscitation. We aimed to examine the performance of this application, challenges encountered, and future directions. We analyzed data from the myResponder app since its launch from April 2015 to July 2019.
