ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how well people learn and remember cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills, which are crucial for saving lives during cardiac emergencies. The researchers want to understand if using technology and self-training methods can help medical students acquire and retain these skills better. Since performing CPR correctly and quickly is essential for a patient's survival, the results of this study could improve how CPR training is carried out.

To participate in this trial, you need to be an adult aged 18 or older, in good health, and have no prior formal training in CPR. Unfortunately, pregnant women, those with limited mobility, or anyone experiencing physical fatigue or muscle pain cannot join. If you participate, you can expect to learn CPR skills that could one day help save someone's life, and your progress will be assessed over time to see how well you keep those skills. This study is currently recruiting participants, so it’s a great opportunity to contribute to important research.
