The device can be used not only in stationary conditions, but also, for example, by ambulance crews. The device is equipped with a pulse oximeter and a cuff for non-invasive blood pressure measurement; based on the data from these sensors, it automatically adjusts the pressure and depth of compression.
The CardioRobot can operate for up to 45 minutes on a built-in battery. The launch of mass production of the device is scheduled for 2025.
