Mobile defibrillator trial for cardiac arrest in Singapore
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether having a mobile external defibrillator and trained volunteers respond quickly can help save someone with cardiac arrest outside a hospital. You would carry a defibrillator and go to nearby emergencies.

This trial tests a new approach to care for people who have had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and have been revived by emergency services. The goal is to see if a structured treatment plan can prevent another arrest before reaching the hospital.
This study tests emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
This trial tests a new way to send trained community first responders to medical emergencies using the myResponder® app. It aims to see if faster help from nearby volunteers can improve outcomes for people in need.
This trial is for people whose heart stopped outside the hospital and who received emergency resuscitation, where emergency doctors believed it was caused by a heart problem. The goal is to learn how to better treat or manage this type of cardiac arrest.
This trial is studying a new system where trained volunteers respond quickly to help people whose heart stops outside of a hospital in Zug, Switzerland. The goal is to see if this system improves survival and recovery.
This trial uses data from smartwatches and smartphones to better predict and recognize cardiac arrest. If you are a healthy volunteer or have had a heart event, your device data could help improve emergency care.
