SmartResQ is the company behind CorPatch®, which has evolved from the urge to significantly improve chances of survival after cardiac arrest.
In 2014, the idea came to life by inventor Prof. Dr. Michael Müller, head physician in emergency medicine in Freiburg, Germany. He recognized the need to improve early bystander CPR quality in case of cardiac arrest. A few years later, Dr. Matthias Roth, entrepreneur B.Sc. Per Schorling and technological lead Dipl.Ing. Thomas Hötzel joined the vision to save more lives after cardiac arrest.
CorPatch® is developed, tested and produced in accordance with most recent medical standards and user preferences.
In 2017, the very first research showed how well CorPatch® works and since then, development has continued steadily onwards. Now, the accurate and rock-solid technology is ready to help save lives in case of cardiac arrest.
