HeartBridge

HeartBridge is a CPR-focused organization working to improve the quality and consistency of bystander care during sudden cardiac arrest. Its mission is to help people perform effective CPR without professional training or significant physical strength, addressing the critical period before emergency responders arrive. The organization offers the HeartBridge device, an automated CPR aid designed to deliver continuous chest compressions at an appropriate depth and rate. It also guides users through an emergency with written, visual, and audio cues.

To use the device, a bystander locates and unfolds it, presses the green start button, aligns its plunger with the center of the person’s chest, and holds it in place while following the instructions until help arrives or the person responds. HeartBridge provides an online demonstration explaining how the device works and shares information about its mission and deployment plans. The organization aims to place HeartBridge in public settings such as gyms, malls, and churches, making support more accessible where cardiac emergencies may occur.
