Analog Devices, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of MEMS and digital signal processing technologies from Norwood, Mass, has just announced that its high performance iMEMS accelerometer enables Zoll Medical‘s new palm-sized CPR device to measure the rate and depth of chest compressions administered by rescuers. If you’ve been living in the woods around Norwood, Mass, and still don’t know, PocketCPR, as the product is called, is a $149 assistance device that has a chronometer and a voice output to guide anyone to perform CPR correctly, step-by-step and in real time. And as we have reported before, Zoll Medical also offers its technology via software for the iPhone, that does pretty much the same thing, by using iPhone’s built-in accelerometer to perform the measurements.
