  • Publication number: 20170281461
    Abstract: A cardiopulmonary resuscitation support device for assisting a rescuer with cardiopulmonary resuscitation using chest compressions, including: a pressure detecting device provided with a pressure sensor including a pressure sensing part which is configured to be overlapped on a chest, the pressure sensing part having a sheet form and being capable of flexural deformation in a flexible manner; and a displacement detecting device provided with a displacement sensor to detect a displacement of a hand of the rescuer compressing the chest, the displacement detecting device being configured to be retained by the hand of the rescuer at a part away from a chest compression surface.

  • Publication number: 20160184180
    Abstract: A cardiopulmonary resuscitation support device including: a pressure sensing part configured to overlap a chest and including a flexible dielectric layer formed of an elastomer, and a flexible first and second electrodes formed of a conductive elastomer overlapped on two surfaces of the dielectric layer; a detection part provided at a facing part of the two electrodes to detect changes in electrostatic capacity; a power supply device to apply measurement voltage and a detection member to obtain the electrostatic capacity detected by the detection part connected to the electrodes; a processing member to calculate at least one piece of evaluation information among a number of compressions, a number of compressions per unit time, a pressing depth during compression, a pressing depth during release, and a ratio of a compression time, based on a detection value from the detection member.

  • Publication number: 20130324828
    Abstract: A biological electrode includes: a substrate which is insulative and flexible; a plurality of electrode terminals which are arranged on a first surface of the substrate, and which are separated from each other at equal intervals and are arranged in one row; and a plurality of electrically conductive members which are arranged on first portions of a second surface of the substrate, and which are not electrically conductive to each other, the plurality of electrically conductive members corresponding to the plurality of electrode terminals, the electrically conductive members each of which is connected to a corresponding one of the electrode terminals and is adapted to be electrically contactable to a living body. The substrate is formed with first separating portions between respective adjacent pairs of sets of one of the electrode terminals and a corresponding one of the electrically conductive members.
