What is it about?
Several devices give real-time visual and audio feedback. This feedback may improve the quality of resuscitation, ultimately leading to improved outcomes. Some of these devices may be found in smartphones and medical monitor/defibillators. This paper provides a review of such devices.

Why is it important?
High quality chest compressions improve patient outcomes. Novel devices provide visual and audio feedback regarding compression interruptions, rate and depth. This article provides an easy to understand review of available devices and highlights areas for further study.
Perspectives
Our smartphones may be able to provide instruction and real-time feedback to guide effective resuscitation. This paper is a great place to start for anyone interested in this technology.
