Abstract
A hands-free wearable cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device, comprising a wearable belt, an electrical motor mounted on the wearable belt, a piston housing coupled to the wearable belt, and a heartbeat sensor electrically coupled to the electrical motor is provided. The piston housing encloses a piston that is moveably coupled to the electrical motor. The heartbeat sensor is configured to detect an absence of a heartbeat on a user and to responsively activate the electrical motor. The electrical motor is configured to drive the piston to move between upward and downward directions along the piston housing to produce chest compressions on the user in response to the electrical motor being activated by the heartbeat sensor.
Claims20
A hands-free wearable cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device, comprising:
- a wearable belt;
- an electrical motor mounted on the wearable belt;
- a piston housing coupled to the wearable belt, the piston housing enclosing a piston that is moveably coupled to the electrical motor;
- a heartbeat sensor electrically coupled to the electrical motor, the heartbeat sensor configured to detect an absence of a heartbeat on a user and to responsively activate the electrical motor;
- and
- the electrical motor configured to drive the piston to move between upward and downward directions along the piston housing to produce chest compressions on the user in response to the electrical motor being activated by the heartbeat sensor.
A method, comprising:
- securing a wearable belt to a body of a user, the wearable belt attached to a piston housing that houses a piston;
- detecting, via a heartbeat sensor coupled to the wearable belt, an absence of a heartbeat on a user, and responsively activating an electrical motor placed in the wearable belt;
- and
- driving the piston that is moveably coupled to the electrical motor to move between upward and downward directions along the piston housing to produce chest compressions on the user in response to activating the electrical motor.
A hands-free wearable cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device, comprising:
- a wearable belt configured to be worn on the chest of a user;
- an electrical motor mounted on the wearable belt;
- a piston housing coupled to the wearable belt, the piston housing enclosing a piston that is moveably coupled to the electrical motor;
- a switch electrically coupled to the electrical motor, the switch configured to activate the electrical motor when the switch is transitioned from an off-state to an on-state;
- and
- the electrical motor configured to drive the piston to move between upward and downward directions along the piston housing to produce chest compressions on the user in response to the electrical motor being activated by the switch.
