AHA ACLS vs CPR assistant. ProSMP

The AHA ACLS app is the American Heart Association's (AHA) officially endorsed digital health solution to assist clinicians in running codes and delivering bedside ACLS care with actual patients. The app was developed by Harvard-trained physicians, in collaboration with the AHA, to help fellow physicians, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and EMTs deliver the highest level of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) at the point-of-care. It began as a project to assist clinicians within Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital—and then expanded to have a global scope after significant positive impact was demonstrated. Importantly, real-time feedback from our clinician users continuously drives improvements in app design, features, and function so that you will have the best experience providing life-saving care at the bedside. The AHA ACLS app is the only one to have all content vetted by both the AHA science team and practicing Harvard-affiliated physicians. It also features the latest 2025 release of AHA recommendations for ACLS. We owe it to our patients to use the best digital health tools to give them the highest chance of surviving acute life-threatening cardiac illnesses. To this end, we have developed a low cost, intuitive, and rigorously vetted mobile app to assist clinicians— including in all stages of training—and enhance ACLS care at the bedside. Features: - Intuitive design to rapidly access 4 ACLS algorithms (i.e. cardiac arrest, tachycardia with pulse, bradycardia with pulse, and post cardiac arrest care) - Includes all recently released 2025 ACLS content including drug therapy and dosing, reversible causes, etc. - Easy-to-read timers and ability to log rounds of CPR, epinephrine, and defibrillations - Button within cardiac arrest algorithm that allows for rapid transition to post cardiac arrest care pathway once patient achieves ROSC - All content rigorously vetted by AHA science team and practicing Harvard-affiliated physicians We continue to iterate based on real-time clinician feedback, so that you will have the best experience providing life-saving care at the bedside. AHA ACLS offers an auto-renewing annual subscription at $3.99/year with a 3-day free trial. You will have unlimited access to all content while you maintain an active subscription. Payment will be charged to the credit card connected to your Apple ID Account when you confirm the initial subscription purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current subscription period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. You may manage your subscription and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to your Account Settings after the purchase. Any unused portion of the free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription. You can read more about our terms and conditions in the app.

The "CPR assistant" app is designed to help healthcare providers perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is based on the guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council and quite similar to the recommendations of the American Heart Association. The app contains three sections of patient age groups: newborns, children and adults. After age selection it will switch to the appropriate algorithm. The app is built on several independent timers. It will remind you by voice to prepare for critical stages of resuscitation, the need to give drugs or assess the heart rhythm. In addition to sound prompts, the timer will change color (green-orange-red). To restart the timer, you need to long-press the corresponding button on the screen. Depending on the selected age group, the metronome will start at a rate of 110 per minute and cycles of 30/2, 15/2 or 3/1. The last 5 metronome beeps are played in a different tone so that the medic is ready to deliver a breath. The metronome sound can be turned off if, for example, you start performing mechanical comressions. If the corresponding button is pressed, when airway secured (LMA, ETT) and mechanical ventilation is provided independently of the compressions, the “breath” voice prompts and pauses for breaths are turned off. Hints for additional activities are displayed on the screen. This is a reminder of reversible causes (4T/4H) or additional procedures in the delivery room. After 30 minutes (10 minutes for newborn), the app will remind you of the duration of resuscitation. This will help re-evaluate the effectiveness of the CPR and make a decision about it continuation or termination. The application records all actions in memory and after completion of resuscitation provides a report. The entries in the report are prepared for copying and filling out the electronic medical card. They contain time stamps for starting the app, administering medications and performing other procedures. The report is saved and available in the "History" tab even after closing the application. The “CPR assistant” app is an excellent tool that will help a physician in real time to provide CPR in accordance with ERC (AHA) guidelines, will tell what and when to do and will significantly speed up the completion of medical documentation. This will lead to an improvement in the quality of resuscitation care, increase patient survival and facilitate the work of the physician. Despite the convenient and clear layout of the interface elements, we recommend you to test the app on your device before you need it in a real clinical situation. You should remember that this application is just a tool that cannot replace knowledge and experience.
