Fantastic!

Bravo for these bright, caring young guys whose primary goal is to help people and not just to make big $ from their invention!

When it's placed on a person's chest, an electrocardiograph measures heart rate to indicate whether CPR is actually needed. A metronome beeps to signal proper compression timing. Accelerometers and piezoelectric sensors trigger video feedback about whether the compressions are deep enough and cue the rescuer to lean over and blow air into the victim's mouth.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/65D1646D-E26D-41E8-BEAE-4A0CCB766E31/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
