The Mysteries of CPR and What We Can Do to Improve It | C. ‘Nat’ Nataraj | TEDxVillanovaU [Video]

Despite public perception that there is a high survival rate for CPR, the reality is disappointing and there is still much left to uncover. Urging for the utilization of machine learning and a revitalized commitment to studying CPR, Dr. Nataraj presents his newest findings and calls on fellow researchers to optimize CPR to better protect human life. C. ‘Nat’ Nataraj is the Moritz Endowed Professor in Engineered Systems at Villanova University and leads the Villanova Center for Analytics of Dynamic Systems (VCADS). Dr. Nataraj’s primary research interest is nonlinear dynamics of engineering and biomedical systems spanning over dynamics, unmanned systems, autonomy, control and diagnostics. He has authored a textbook and 250+ articles on these research topics. In addition, he has supervised numerous research projects with a total funding amount of over $15 million. He is the founding podcast host for “Nodycast”, supported by Springer Nature. Dr. Nataraj is a Life Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and a recipient of several prestigious research awards. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
