The document summarizes the EmUrgency project, which aims to increase survival rates from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests through faster response times. The project involves developing a multi-channel notification system to alert nearby trained volunteers and dispatch emergency responders. It also aims to raise public awareness of CPR through educational videos, school programs, and recruiting more volunteers. The partners involved in the 3-year project are universities and hospitals from Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands.
