This PhD project focuses on developing the first-ever closed-loop cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) feedback device. The device uses non-invasive sensors to measure blood oxygenation in the brain and tells the CPR provider how to adjust their compression depth, rate, and release to improve patient outcomes. The student will have the opportunity to work with a range of engineers, doctors, and paramedics and will help to develop this prototype into an ambulance-ready device, ready for deployment in large-scale clinical trials.
