The problem
88% of sudden cardiac arrests happen at home. Within approximately 4 minutes, the damage to the brain is irreversible. Immediate initiation of chest compressions, reaching a depth of 5 cm can prevent irreversible damage and triple chances of survival.

Our solution
Beaty is a CPR feedback device that tells you when you effectively compress the victim’s chest thus providing enough oxygen to their brain
