For more than 30 years, I have worked as a firefighter, paramedic, and emergency medical professional. During that time, I have seen how important it is for people to know what to do when an emergency happens.
I founded Heart Start CPR in 2003 to make CPR and lifesaving training easier for people to access. Over the years, we have helped healthcare professionals, workplaces, students, and community members complete CPR, First Aid, BLS, ACLS, and PALS training.
CPR VAM grew from that same goal.
I wanted to create a more flexible way for people to complete the hands-on portion of their CPR training. By using Voice-Assisted Manikin technology, CPR VAM gives students guidance and real-time feedback while they complete their required skills.
