Exports of Iran-Made Smart CPR Simulator to 6 Countries

“The product we made is a CPR training simulator that has been designed and produced by using artificial intelligence and XR technology,” said Amir Reza Bakhoda, a technologist at the knowledge-based company.

“XR is a combination of three technologies of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). In this product, we tried to simulate stressful conditions in public environments for learners so that they can touch the virtual environment while viewing it and have a more realistic feel of the training situation,” he added.

“In this simulator, additional information has been added to the product's smart mannequin, allowing users to analyze and correct their performance while performing CPR. In the CPR process, actions like chest compressions, mouth-to-mouth breathing, and vital signs monitoring must be performed with high accuracy,” Bakhoda said.

“This smart mannequin provides accurate feedback by simultaneously measuring the depth of compression, rhythm, hand placement, inhalation and exhalation, and vital signs,” he added.

In a relevant development in 2023, an Iranian researcher had also succeeded in building a heart resuscitation simulator by using metaverse and artificial intelligence (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.
