Save a Life Makes Final Round in Challenge

Save a Life is a finalist in the Chicago Open Innovation Challenge, in which several people with innovative ideas are competing for $25,000 in grant funding.     Save a Life helps instructors verify CPR competency through Google Glass that guides and tracks proper technique based on visual and auditory prompts. The education tool also has a built-in tool that assists with calling for help, and provides objective metrics on compression rate, rhythm, and depth. The program works by accessing the wearable sensors (gyroscope/accelerometer) in Google Glass to help students achieve metrics through audio and visual feedback in real time.           For a step-by-step explanation on how Save a Life works or to back the project, visit http://bit.ly/1vCOQBz.  Tags: technology, innovations, Google, google glass, CPR, Chicago, Save a LifePublished: 10/23/2014 9:48:00 AM
