Inclusion criteria: Individuals who are in a medical or nursing profession, work in emergency medical services, or have received training in resuscitation techniques in another capacity.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: i. Incapacitated individuals ii. Children, i.e., individuals under the age of 18, as they are not capable of providing consent alone iii.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Are guideline-compliant quality endpoints for resuscitation (pressure depth 5-6 cm, frequency 100-120/min, correct hand positioning, complete thoracic relief) better achieved with the app-coupled feedback applications than without a feedback system? | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Does using the devices increase self-confidence in one's own resuscitation skills? (Survey through questionnaire following data collection) - How do the applications differ in terms of usability? (Survey through questionnaire following data collection) - Is the content of the applications guideline-based? (expert consensus) | — |
