“More than 350,000 Americans suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year, and survival sits at roughly 9%," says Nimit Desai, a research affiliate at the UC San Diego Qualcomm Institute, medical student at UC San Diego School of Medicine and co-author of a new study in JAMA Internal Medicine. "Given that only 2% of Americans are certified to perform CPR, when someone collapses, they call 911 and wait. ChatCPR could change that and begin to save lives.”
