“…It is emphasised that bi-directional communication between first responders and control centres during and after activation for an OHCA is of particular importance [ 30 ]. This may be in line with observations from other CFR apps, some of which have identified a special psychosocial aftercare need for first responders after a mission, but further research is needed to confirm the extent of psychosocial aftercare demands [ 31 , 32 ]. One of the foreseeable greatest challenges in Germany regarding the necessary nationwide implementation of CFR applications is, in addition to adequate funding, the possibility of connecting first responders across different control centers and different CFR apps throughout the country.…”

Background Bystander CPR is one of the main independent factors contributing to better survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Simultaneously, the rate of bystander CPR in Germany is below the European average. First responder applications (apps) contribute to reducing the time period without CPR (no-flow time) until professional help can arrive on-scene. Methods The KATRETTER app was introduced in Berlin as one of the first apps in Europe which do not require any medical qualifications to register as a first responder. The activation of volunteer first responders for suspected cardiac arrest cases through the Berlin Emergency Medical Services integrated control center was evaluated based on data collected between 16 Oct 2020 and 16 Oct 2022. Our descriptive analysis includes the number of registered first responders, number of activations, the number and percentages of accepted activations, as well as all reports where first responders arrived at the scene. Results As of 15 Oct 2022, a total of 10,102 first responders were registered in the state of Berlin. During this specified period, there were 16.505 activations of the system for suspected out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. In 38.4% of the accepted cases, first responders documented patient contact, and in 34.6% of cases with patient contact, CPR was performed. Only 2% of registered first responders did not have any medical qualifications. Conclusions Smartphone-based first responder applications should not be understood as a means of alerting professional help, but rather like a digitally amplified “call for help” in the vicinity of an emergency location. A large number of first responders can be recruited within 24 months, without large-scale public relations work necessary. No qualifications were required to become a first responder, contributing to a low-threshold registration process with the effect of a more widespread distribution of the app and cost reduction during implementation.

This article recommends social science research-based recommendations for improving first responder safety and occupational health by assessing cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) for use by emergency services and law enforcement. This involves vehicles using digital technologies to inform each other or via objects such as roadworks signs about traffic situations and dangerous circumstances. The application of information and communication technologies to the road transport sector and its interfaces with other modes of transport shall make a significant contribution to improving environmental performance, efficiency, including energy efficiency, safety, and security of road transport. This article investigates which social science aspects must be considered when implementing C-ITS, so that emergency vehicles such as ambulances can be given automated priority. Since emergency vehicles can communicate with traffic signal systems or other vehicles, safety requirements play a particularly important role. This leads to the question of which challenges subjective safety and technology perceptions regarding first responders are essential for the introduction of C-ITS for first responder organizations and which factors can lead to rejection.
