American Red Cross Introduces New Elevate™ SMART Manikin Training Solution That Delivers Enhanced Precision and Expansive Reach

Today, the American Red Cross and Elevate Healthcare, Inc. released the new, innovative Elevate^TM SMART Manikin training solution designed for First Aid/CPR/AED and Basic Life Support (BLS) education and skills assessment.

Tailored for self-directed learning, this educational model maximizes instructor efficiency while ensuring participants learn essential skills with greater technical accuracy, objectivity and consistency. This training solution, incorporating Red Cross best-in-class curriculum, results in one of the most precise assessments of lifesaving skills.

"We have reimagined the learning environment with this training solution to offer expansive reach and greater training flexibility," said Dom Tolli, senior vice president of Product Management and Platform Development for the Red Cross. "This new self-directed training solution goes beyond the traditional classroom environment with first-to-market features such as AED and severe bleeding skills."

Personalized Lifesaving Training That Goes Beyond the Traditional Classroom Environment

Learners begin their certification experience with a didactic eLearning course taken at a time and day of their choosing. Upon successful completion of the eLearning course, learners conduct a skills session with the Elevate^TMSMART Manikin, connected to a tablet that accurately measures and assesses their performance. On-call support by a Red Cross instructor is available if needed.

"As the foremost training organization for First Aid and CPR, we are committed to advancing lifesaving education and skills so that learners are prepared to respond properly when moments matter," added Tolli.

Streamline Tracking and Reporting

Intuitive dashboard reports enable administrators to quickly evaluate learner performance, pinpoint areas for improvement and track progress over time, all while meeting compliance and regulatory requirements.

"This new self-directed training solution offers greater accuracy, convenience and efficiency for both learners and organizations," said Brian Truesdale, CEO Elevate Healthcare.

Training Solution Options

"The broad spectrum of skills options allows the Elevate^TMSMART Manikin training solution to easily integrate into a wide variety of environments such as training provider facilities, workplaces, public safety agencies, hospitals, military bases or educational institutions," continued Brian.

Two versions of the Elevate^TM SMART Manikin training solution are available, with features outlined in the table below.
