As a first step, we ask you to make a prediction based on the text of each paragraph and imagine how many years from today it will be possible to have these technologies available for the management of cardiac arrest.
1. Based on this text can you predict the implementation of this concept? Early recognition and call for help Ambient vital signs monitoring using radio waves enables unobtrusive, home-based tracking of breathing, heart rate, and neurological patterns. Dina Katabi and colleagues have described the potential of low-level microwave signals—similar to those used in Wi-Fi—to track subtle movements and vital signs. These signals can penetrate walls and reflect off the human body, providing real-time data on a patient’s health. This technology could revolutionise healthcare by allowing remote monitoring of patients or those with chronic conditions, early detection of falls or changes in health status, and contactless sleep studies. This can be envisioned as a rapid response system that integrates all signals and manages to prevent deterioration before cardiac arrest by integrating all data into asystem capable of interpreting them and able to activate the efferent arm as quickly as possible. By eliminating the need for intrusive sensors, Katabi’s work promises to enhance patient comfort and privacy while expanding the reach and accuracy of medical monitoring. This technology exemplifies how innovative uses of everyday signals could transform medicine’s future and could potentially transform domestic environments by offering continuous surveillance, extending monitoring beyond traditional healthcare settings. Integrating ambient monitoring with robust deep learning algorithms could enable systems to analyse gait, detect subtle changes in vital signs, and identify suspected cardiac arrests, thereby triggering immediate emergency responses. Furthermore, AI algorithms that adapt to individual behaviours could provide personalised risk prediction days or hours before a cardiac event—a potentially life-saving measure. This technology could also integrate with wearable devices and smart speakers, offering rhythm analysis and serving as a redundant vital signs monitor. Healthcare professionals could use immersive reality to coordinate ambulance activities, provide pre-arrival instructions, and maintain CPR competence and improve training.*

2. Based on this text can you predict the implementation of this concept? Early CPR and early AED In cases of unexpected CA, robotic or automated chest compression devices could provide immediate intervention when integrated with current technologies (e.g., videocall, first responder app, etc.). Imagine a future where robots are available in every environment ready to intervene in case of CPR, potentially coordinated by dispatch operators connected remotely. Such a robot could try to detect a fallen person’s location, detect biosignals, and even perform first aid such as CPR. The wearable defibrillator design concept has been evaluated several times as a potential area for further research and development. Currently, there is a lack of evidence; no randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated a positive effect on survival from using a vest. Significant advancements in comfort, wearability, and user-friendliness are still required. The ideal implementation should include a discrete shirt-like garment made from breathable, stretchable fabric, a streamlined wireless control unit, and a focus on a ’slip-on and forget’ approach. These enhancements offer a vision for the future of wearable defibrillators, prioritising patient comfort and ease-of-use without compromising the device’s life-saving capabilities.*

3. Based on this text can you predict the implementation of this concept? Post resuscitation care. The future of post-resuscitation care could be revolutionised by brain-computer interfaces(BCIs). Although still in its nascent stages, brain-computer interface (BCI) technology holds the potential to transform our understanding and management of cardiac arrest. Neuralink, the society founded by Elon Musk in 2016, announced the start of the PRIME Study (Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface) in 2023, to evaluate the safety and functionality of their fully implantable, wireless BCI for enabling people with paralysis to control external devices with their thoughts. In January 2024, their first ‘brain-reading’ device has been implanted into a patient, even if Mitchell et al., had already proved that an endovascular access to the sensorimotor cortex is a valid alternative to placing BCI electrodes in or on the dura by open-brain surgery in 4 patients with paralysis; BCI helped patients to perform digital tasks such as emailing, texting and shopping. By monitoring brain activity in real time across every phase of CA from the moment of collapse to recovery at hospital discharge. BCIs could provide valuable insights into the extent of neurological damage and into the patient’s prospects of recovery. This information could contribute to the development of more accurate prognostic models, potentially guiding complex medical decisions across different stages of treatment and recovery before and after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Furthermore, BCIs could enable targeted interventions to enhance brain function and improve outcome for CA survivors. They may even interpret residual neural activity, raising critical questions about “neurorights”, including mental privacy, cognitive liberty, and personal identity. While this technological integration offers immense possibilities, it also presents profound ethical challenges, balancing the benefits of preemptive interventions and life-saving insights against the risks of continuous surveillance and intrusions into our most private mental realms.*
