Who can use cardiacSTAR?
Any teens or adults can play the game, earn CPR certification, and stay ready to save lives. It is best played in groups, so we recommend a host to plan the in-person event.

Where do I go for troubleshooting the game?
We offer a troubleshooting guide for cardiacSTAR gameplay (PDF). This is what you need to know to set up the game and to connect devices for the game to work well.
Does cardiacSTAR let people earn CPR certification?
Yes. When people play the cardiacSTAR game using their phones and a cardiacSTAR™ CPR POWER Station (join the waitlist for the cardiacSTAR Store’s next batch), the game tracks their responses to CPR knowledge questions and it measures compressions quality. Once they achieve an appropriate score, they can submit for a 1-year certification card for Hands-Only Adult CPR. See more details in our cardiacSTAR CPR Certification Guide (PDF).
