What CorPatch does

CorPatch, operated by SmartResQ GmbH (Germany) with a related Danish entity SmartResQ ApS, develops Bluetooth-connected CPR feedback hardware and software that prepare and guide bystanders through cardiac arrest response. Its core technology is a sensor-based medical device that measures chest compression depth (±1mm accuracy, validated by Dresden University of Technology), frequency, recoil, and flow fraction, and transmits those readings to a free mobile app that delivers real-time audio and visual guidance. The product is certified under EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745, while a companion rechargeable trainer (CorPatch® Trainer) is sold separately for use in CPR courses on standard manikins.

The company's product surface consists of two hardware devices (single-use CorPatch and rechargeable CorPatch Trainer), two free companion applications (a consumer-facing iOS/Android app and an instructor tablet app), and CorPatch® Services, a cloud platform that aggregates training performance data for instructors. The platform underpins a "Train-As-You-Fight" concept in which the same feedback system used in training is identical to the one used in real emergencies, with a positioning patch on the device to guide bystanders to correct hand placement.

Commercially, CorPatch generates revenue through hardware sales across three go-to-market motions: (1) direct-to-consumer e-commerce via its own webshop with international shipping; (2) channel partnerships with CPR training institutes that incorporate the Trainer into courses and resell devices to participants; and (3) B2B/enterprise sales under the #heartsafecompany initiative targeting employers that want to provide employees with CPR safety equipment. Distribution in Germany is reinforced by a medical equipment reseller (Meßmer Medizintechnik GmbH). Founded in 2016, the company remains privately held with no disclosed institutional funding and a headcount in the 1-10 range.

Core offering

CorPatch develops and sells the CorPatch® medical device, a compact, keychain-attached Bluetooth-connected device paired with a free mobile app that provides real-time feedback on CPR compression depth, recoil, frequency, and flow fraction during cardiac arrest emergencies. The company also sells the CorPatch® Trainer, a rechargeable training device designed for first aid course providers under a 'Train-As-You-Fight' concept, along with the CorPatch® Trainer App and CorPatch® Services cloud data platform for instructors to track CPR training performance.

Product overview

CorPatch offers a unified CPR feedback ecosystem centered on two connected devices and their companion applications. The core product portfolio consists of CorPatch® (a single-use medical device for real cardiac arrest situations) and CorPatch® Trainer (a rechargeable training device for first aid courses), both providing real-time feedback on CPR quality metrics. These devices pair with two complementary apps: the CorPatch® App (free, for general users and real emergencies) and the CorPatch® Trainer App (free, for instructors managing group training sessions). All devices and apps feed data to the CorPatch® Services cloud platform, enabling performance tracking over time. The 'Train As You Fight' concept ensures users train with the same feedback system they'll use in actual emergencies, creating a cohesive training-to-deployment experience.

Brands

• CorPatch® Trainer: Rechargeable first aid training solution with CPR feedback system, designed for training institutes and CPR courses using a 'Train as you Fight' concept.

Products and services

• CorPatch® A small medical CPR feedback device designed for the keychain that prepares and empowers bystanders to perform quality CPR in case of cardiac arrest. Connects via Bluetooth to the free CorPatch app to provide real-time guidance on compression depth, recoil, frequency, and flow fraction.
• CorPatch® Trainer A rechargeable CPR training solution with the same feedback system as the CorPatch® medical device, designed for use on manikins during first aid courses. Targeted at CPR training institutes as part of the 'Train As You Fight' concept where training mirrors real-life usage.
• CorPatch® App Free mobile application that guides users through cardiac arrest recognition, EMS calling (1-1-2), and provides live CPR feedback when connected to the CorPatch® device. Includes a self-train function for regular 5-minute practice sessions every 3 months.
• CorPatch® Trainer App Free tablet application used by instructors during CPR courses. Connects via Bluetooth to CorPatch® Trainer devices to display real-time CPR performance data (flow fraction, depth, recoil, frequency) for each course participant, supporting group sessions of up to 20 trainees per trainer device.
• CorPatch® Services Cloud-based data platform ('CorPatch Services') that collects and stores CPR training performance data from tablets, allowing instructors to retrieve and examine participant performance data over time. Also aggregates anonymous CPR quality data from real-life cardiac arrests to enable evidence-based research.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Schiller: Schiller produces defibrillators and cardiac care devices, with a CPR feedback and resuscitation training product range that overlaps CorPatch's clinical and training-side offering, especially in European markets.
• Defibtech: Defibtech designs and markets AEDs for public access and professional responders, competing in the same bystander cardiac-arrest preparedness segment that CorPatch addresses with its keychain feedback device.
• Cardiac Science: Cardiac Science's Powerheart AEDs target schools, workplaces, and public spaces, overlapping with CorPatch's #heartsafecompany corporate channel and the broader bystander resuscitation value proposition.

Broad incumbents

• Mindray: Mindray is a large medical device manufacturer whose patient monitoring and defibrillator product lines overlap with the broader resuscitation ecosystem in which CorPatch participates, with much larger scale and geographic reach.
• Philips HeartStart: Philips HeartStart AEDs and resuscitation accessories target the same bystander and workplace cardiac arrest preparedness market as CorPatch, with vastly greater brand recognition, distribution, and clinical evidence base.
• Stryker (Physio-Control / LIFEPAK): Stryker's LIFEPAK AEDs and CPR feedback tools operate in the same resuscitation ecosystem as CorPatch, with overlapping clinical customers and substantially broader device portfolios and global sales reach.

Direct peers

• Laerdal Medical: Laerdal's QCPR manikins and SkillReporter feedback platform are the dominant training-side CPR feedback solution, directly overlapping with the CorPatch Trainer and CorPatch Services offering for CPR training institutes.
• Prestan Products: Prestan manufactures CPR training manikins (including the CPR Feedback model) that compete with CorPatch Trainer for the same CPR training institute customers on a feature/price basis.
• ZOLL Medical (Asahi Kasei): ZOLL's Real CPR Help technology provides real-time CPR depth and rate feedback integrated into AEDs and professional defibrillators — directly comparable to CorPatch's bystander feedback device in function, though typically sold through clinical channels rather than consumer keychain distribution.
• HeartSine Technologies (Stryker): HeartSine specializes in compact AEDs for public-access and workplace deployment — closely comparable to CorPatch's workplace-safety use case, with an overlapping buyer (corporate safety officers, first-aid providers).
