Iranian Researcher Makes Heart Resuscitation Simulator by Using Metaverse, AI Technologies
“The most important complication for people who get electrocuted is cardiac arrest. Every year, a large number of people who are active in the electrical industry are killed due to electrocution and lack of successful and timely resuscitation,” Hadi Arjmand, the creator of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation simulator, told ANA.
Noting that all CPR (short for cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training, which is a global and national need, is taught by movies and mannequins and this skill is not practiced in real world, he said, “Therefore, the researchers of a knowledge-based company active in the CPR skill training produced the simulator by using metaverse and artificial intelligence technologies, including the AR, VR and XR.”
“This product has been patented in 197 countries and is being used for the first time in the electricity industry. It took three and a half years to produce it, and now it is being used in Red Crescent hospital centers and electric companies,” Arjmand said.
In a relevant development earlier this year, researchers at an Iranian knowledge-based company succeeded in designing and manufacturing nanosensors that are able to detect heart attacks.
The company is the first specialized accelerator in the field of sensor and biosensor production and design in the country, Mehdi Bordbar, a member of the specialized accelerator active in the field of biotechnology, said.
Nanosensors in medicinal research are fast emerging, particularly in heart ailments.
They are able to wirelessly convey the signal to physicians for rapid diagnosis and treatment. These sensors are less costly and can be used by individuals with the cardiac disease at all times.
“One of the sensors we developed is related to the rapid and simultaneous detection kits for cardiovascular diseases based on antibodies,” Bordbar said.
He referred to heart attacks as the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Myocardial infarction or heart attack occurs when the reduction or cessation of blood flow to a part of the heart causes damage to the heart muscle.
The most common symptom is pain or discomfort in the chest, which may appear in the shoulder, arm, back, and neck.
