The document discusses the EMuRgency project, which aims to increase cardiac arrest survival rates in Europe through socio-technical innovation. Approximately 350,000-700,000 people experience cardiac arrest in Europe each year, but survival rates could be doubled if immediate help from laymen was available and professional help arrived sooner. The project is developing apps to train laypeople in CPR, attention-aware displays to guide rescuers, and a volunteer notification system to dispatch help more quickly. The overall goal is to save lives through technology that facilitates early intervention for cardiac emergencies.
