New Canadian CPR glove might just save your life one day

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation or commonly known as CPR is the last procedure in any life threatening situation. In order to enhance this life saving process, the Canadian electronic CPR glove has proved to be extremely efficient. Developed by Corey Centen and Nilesh Patel for their final year design project, this CPR glove has become popular with the Medics as well as first aiders. It seems like most people forget the correct CPR procedure 6 months after training. The new electronic CPR glove acts as a sort of refresher course for the already trained individuals. The electronic glove is fitted with a series of sensors and chips, which according to Centen measures the frequency and depth of compression. “Compressions must be given at the rate of 100 per minute and at a depth of four to five centimeters”. The electronic glove makes sure that this kind of procedure is done right. This new medical invention is designed in black and one size fits all. Centen mentions that this glove is relatively inexpensive and will become a standard first aid item pretty soon. The components of the glove cost about $250, and would be even cheaper if bought separately. Patel mentions: “We see the glove being available as part of any standard first-aid package” Centen and Patel have filed for US patent on this particular technology. A number of investors are already keen on buying this new invention.
