Description
Duangpon Thepmanee and co-authors published this 2026 study on a phone app that helps bystanders respond to cardiac arrest. The MySOS app was rolled out across the emergency system in Bangkok to speed up early CPR. The team compared patient outcomes before and after the rollout.
Records covered 615 patients treated between December 2022 and May 2024, split between the two periods. After the app arrived, patients were more likely to regain a pulse before reaching hospital. The authors stress that the study shows a link, not proof of cause, since use of the app by each bystander was not confirmed. Still, the results support wider use of such systems.
