Bystanders are less likely to perform prompt and effective CPR on women due to psychological barriers and lack of training on female physiology. Current CPR courses, often centered on male manikins, fail to address this gap. Broadening training to include female-specific scenarios could shorten response time and improve accuracy in emergency situations. In this paper, we introduce Equi CPR, an interactive system for female CPR training. This system includes a lightweight simulator for physical feedback and a MR application for guidance and visual feedback. We also conducted a preliminary user study of Equi CPR. The result shows that the system is effective and offers a positive user experience.
