Since 2004, RE:LAB has been working in Interaction Engineering, demonstrating a strong track record in designing, prototyping, developing, and validating Human-Machine Interfaces. The mission of RE:LAB is to enhance the relationship between people and technologies, enabling products and services to achieve higher levels of quality and competitiveness.​

We teamed up with Paediatric Emergency Division, Department of Women’s and Children’s Health, University of Padua, in order to deliver the application PediAppRREST, an innovative audio-visual interactive app designed specifically for tablets.

Its purpose is to support the management of paediatric cardiac arrest (PCA), designed to guide and train the team leader to perform resuscitation interventions in the timeline and modalities reported in the American Heart Association (AHA) PALS 2015 guidelines. 

"PediAppRREST serves as a valuable tool for healthcare professionals working with paediatric patients. It ensures accuracy by following guidelines from authoritative sources in order to train professionals in the management of PCA and improve the resuscitation outcomes, the Paediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) course has been created by the American Heart Association (AHA) and undergoing continuous expert review during its development. The app collects feedback from users, foremost doctors who rely on its use.

In pediatric resuscitation, where 50-65% of cases involve children younger than 1 year (with most under 6 months), PediAppRREST plays a crucial role. It improves outcomes for children experiencing cardiac arrest and enhances critical case management while minimizing adverse outcomes.

PediAppRREST provides step-by-step instructions for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillator use. It meticulously tracks CPR details such as timing, rates, pressure, and medication doses. By offering context-specific suggestions, it ensures adherence to guidelines.

To expand its user base, PediAppRREST focuses on design enhancements, continuous updates, promotion, training, and collaboration with healthcare professionals. Ultimately, it contributes to better outcomes for children facing cardiac emergencies."

In summary, PediAppRREST represents an important step toward improving PCA management through an interactive and multimodal tablet app. Its development and usability testing demonstrate a commitment to enhancing patient outcomes during critical situations.
