An app to keep: smartphone-based dispatch of community first responder to cardiac arrest
The community first responder system attracts a predominantly young and male user base. The retention rate of 96% over the three years observation period is high. The main barrier to app usage is excessive battery consumption. The users' positive perceptions regarding the app's medical advantages and the favorable perception of its functionality have resulted in a steadfast high recommendation rate.
