Individual User Admin Dashboard
Dashboard reporting provides detailed data on individual student performance, allowing an administrator to evaluate performance and identify areas for improvement.
Aggregated Admin Dashboard
The aggregated dashboard for all learners allows the administrator to view key metrics including overall organizational performance, average time of sessions and pass rates.
Courses
Learners begin their self-directed certification with a flexible and adaptive, didactic eLearning course taken at a time and day of their choosing. Upon successful completion of the eLearning course, learners schedule a private skills session with the Elevate SMART Manikin and tablet. After successfully passing all required skills, learners automatically receive their certification card by email.

Evaluation Metrics
Objective, Quantitative Feedback
Critical lifesaving skills are evaluated and measured using a multitude of evidence-based algorithms and market-leading technology to provide learners with skills precision and competence. Objective, quantitative feedback, incorporating visual and audio cues, results in precise preparation for lifesaving skills.
The SMART Manikin Plus goes beyond traditional CPR evaluation with first-to-market solutions for AED placement and self-directed First Aid skills including infant choking and direct pressure for the control of life-threatening bleeding.
Self-Directed Skills Assessments
AED Utilization
Adeptly assess the correct locations to place AED pads on both the adult and infant manikins and deliver a shock with the integrated AED built into the tablet software.
Obstructed Airway (Choking)
The infant manikin allows for physical performance of back blows and chest thrusts while assessing proper location and count. The tablet software verifies correct hand placement of back blows and abdominal thrusts for Adult Obstructed Airway.
Direct Pressure
Precisely evaluate the correct pressure required to stop life-threatening bleeding using a pressure sensor on the adult manikin.
Compressions
Accurately measure and assess the depth, rate, count and recoil of chest compressions with proper hand placement. An integrated metronome is available for optional assistance.
Ventilations (Breaths)
Correctly measure the volume, rate and count of ventilations provided. Proper head tilt is required for adequate airflow to the lungs.
CPR Cycles
To ensure full competency of lifesaving skills, learners must demonstrate the complete CPR cycle by combining compressions and ventilations. The manikin incorporates all the above measurements while precisely quantifying the time off chest.
