CPR Electronic Teaching Assistant Mannequin

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a procedure used with unconscious victims of some type of trauma which has caused the heart to stop beating in order to simulate a functional heartbeat and oxygen intake through breathing [3]. Currently, CPR training is usually performed using a mannequin and supervised by an instructor. We would like to improve the quality of the training process to perform CPR. For that, we will create a tool to facilitate the job of the instructors by electronically monitoring students practicing CPR on a training mannequin.
