The conceptual 'CPR First Aider' is a first aid robot that would guide users along when performing life-saving assistance to increase the likelihood of survival and cut down on the occurrence of complications. The robot works by sitting over the chest of the patient and providing them with oxygen through an accompanying mask, while an LCD screen on the top section will guide users through the next steps in first aid protocol. The screen will also display the person's blood oxygen concentration and an electrocardiogram to let healthcare professionals see how they're doing upon arrival.
The conceptual 'CPR First Aider' is the design work of Fang Di, Li Pengcheng and Yu Yuanyi, and is the winner of the 2019 Red Dot Design Concept Award.
