Police personnel, public to be trained in using the life-saving technology
Brain Wire Medi, a Kochi-based medical research company, has developed a state-of-the-art CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) technique using artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) technologies enabling even a young child to master the life-saving skill and turn a saviour of a family member or even a stranger at home or on the streets.
The company in association with the Kerala Police will organise a training programme under its project called Basic Responders for police personnel and the general public in the life-saving skill at Ernakulam Town Hall on Wednesday.
The training will be done on TOFU (Training Oriented Functional Unit), an ultrahigh fidelity AI-based mannequin developed by the company, which it claims to be first of its kind in the world. TOFU records each movement and gives live feedback, enabling participants to feel the impact of their actions on the body, and to know whether they have learnt the technique correctly.
