CPRGlove™ Making Inroads

Electronic CPRGlove™, an invention of two biomed engineering students Corey Centen and Nilesh Patel from O’Canada’s McMaster University, has just been given the prestigious Collegiate Inventors Competition (CIC) Award in Caltech, as well as TIME magazine’s recognition as one of the best inventions of 2007 in the health category. We’ve seen the device a few times before on these pages (see our flashbacks below). Now also come news of a startup called Atreo Medical Inc. founded by Centen and Patel, that will try to capitalize on the idea of an electronic monitor built into the glove to assure adequate thoracic CPR pressure, etc.
