Optimizing 9-1-1 Recognition of SCA

If is often difficult for 9-1-1 call-takers  to recognize a sudden cardiac arrest ( SCA)  over the phone and be able to direct lay-responders to do CPR. Approximately 25% of SCAs are missed by dispatchers. Therefore, evaluating current response strategies, developing video assist and artificial intelligence based tools to help call takers more accurately recognize a cardiac arrest over the phone and upgrading training accodingly is crucial to improving survival from SCA.
