Feedbag

Conceptual Product Solutions (APD2) 2025

This concept reimagines the potential of the hand-powered ventilation bag, not just as a tool, but as an active partner in the chain of survival. By integrating advanced sensors with an intuitive dual-feedback ecosystem, the system closes the loop between rescuer and patient. Feedbag monitors every breath using a flow sensor, EtCO₂ measurement, and microphones, and communicates this data in two complementary ways. First, a pneumatic system inside the bag uses built-in air chambers to generate distinct haptic patterns, helping the operator maintain the correct ventilation rate and volume. Second, a visual interface positioned close to the patient’s face provides a detailed Clinical Mode for paramedics and a simplified Guidance Mode for first responders. By delivering real-time tactile and visual feedback, Feedbag improves ventilation quality by ensuring that every breath is safe, effective, and optimised to save lives.
