Platforms, systems, software, and methods for online cpr training and certification

A CPR training and certification device comprising:

• a. an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or both;
• b. a first mode for collecting student compression data by the accelerometer;
• c. a second mode for collecting student breath data by the accelerometer, wherein the device automatically switches between the first mode and the second mode;
• d. a software module for providing feedback on the compression and breath data;
• and
• e. a software module for transmitting the data to a server application for evaluation by a CPR instructor.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoded with a computer program including instructions executable by a processor to create a CPR certification application, the application adapted for a CPR instructor, the application comprising:

• a. a software module configured to provide video of the student performing psychomotor skills;
• b. a software module configured to receive student compression and breath data;
• c. a software module configured to provide a graphical display of student compression and breath data;
• d. a software module configured to allow provision of feedback;
• and
• e. a software module configured to allow issuance of a CPR certification.

A web-based CPR training and certification platform comprising:

• a. a plurality of controller devices, each controller device operated by a student, each controller device comprising:
• i. an accelerometer;
• ii. a first mode for collecting raw student compression data via the accelerometer;
• iii. a second mode for collecting raw student breath data via the accelerometer;
• iv. a means for transmitting the raw compression and breath data to a hub device;
• b. a hub device comprising:
• i. a means for receiving raw compression and breath data from each of the controller devices;
• ii. a digital signal processor configured to process the raw compression and breath data and generate compression rate, compression depth, and breath chest rise data for each of the controller devices;
• iii. a means for transmitting the compression rate, compression depth, and breath chest rise data to a server application;
• c. a server processor configured to provide an application comprising:
• i. a training mode, a practice mode, and a certification mode;
• ii. a software module for providing a student interface, the student interface configured to deliver learning content to each student in the training mode and display instructor feedback to each student in the practice mode;
• iii. a software module for providing an instructor interface, the instructor interface configured to provide video of student psychomotor skills for each student in the practice and certification modes, provide a graphical display of compression rate, compression depth, and breath chest rise data for each student in the practice and certification modes, allow provision of feedback to each student in the practice and certification modes, and allow issuance of a CPR certification to each student in the certification mode.
