Most people say they'd help if someone collapsed in front of them — but few feel sure they'd actually know what to do. That's the gap the Icheon Nambu Health Support Center set out to close by installing IMLAB's CPR Station, a self-guided kiosk that combines CPR theory, hands-on practice, real-time feedback, and remote management, right in its lobby.
Interest in self-guided CPR kiosks has been growing across Korea, as public institutions look for smarter ways to deliver health and safety education without needing an instructor on-site.
By adding CPR Station, the center can now offer residents structured, repeatable CPR training as part of its everyday health and safety programs.
About Icheon Nambu Health Support Center
Located in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, the Icheon Nambu Health Support Center began operations in April 2025.
It runs a range of health-management and preventive-education programs designed to improve residents' well-being and strengthen their ability to respond to emergencies.
Healthier Together! Under this slogan, the center provides connected services with the Nambu Dementia Relief Center. The new two-story facility has a total floor area of 1,144 square meters.
The center has also been developing a hands-on safety education environment where any resident can easily access high-quality CPR training.
That effort is what led the center to install CPR Station in a place every visitor already passes through — the lobby.
CPR Station Installation in the Center Lobby
The first-floor lobby is the busiest part of the building — an open consultation area, program rooms, an information desk, and seating where visitors already wait around.
Rather than tucking training into a back room, the center put CPR Station right there, so CPR education becomes something people bump into during an ordinary visit.
At first glance, the setup looks simple: a kiosk with a large touchscreen paired with a realistic training manikin.
Behind that simple appearance is an advanced sensing kit that can be fitted to several manikin models, together with content and platform technology that connects seamlessly to the hardware.
That combination is what makes CPR Station function less like a static display and more like a self-contained training station.
How CPR Station Works
Product overview: CPR Station combines a touchscreen kiosk, training manikin, and IMLAB sensing technology.
IMLAB's CPR Station is an integrated solution built around three main elements: a manikin, smart sensors, and an educational application.
Learners can study both theory and hands-on technique without an instructor present — which is also why these kiosks show up in corporate lobbies, school health rooms, break rooms, and safety-experience centers, not just health centers.
Core Training Features
1. Learn CPR Theory
1.1 A Three-Minute Video Lesson
Animated demo: self-guided CPR theory and technique lesson.
A short video walks through the concepts, steps, and correct technique for hands-only CPR — covering the essentials in about three minutes.
1.2 Review with a CPR Quiz
Animated demo: interactive CPR quiz and immediate knowledge review.
A short interactive quiz follows, with clear explanations that make it easy for learners to check what stuck.
1.3 Step-by-Step AED Learning
A step-by-step AED module rounds out the basics, introducing what the device does and how to use it.
2. Build Skills in Practice Mode
2.1 CPR Practice Mode
Animated demo: chest-compression practice with real-time performance feedback.
In CPR Practice Mode, the kiosk gives real-time feedback on compression depth, rate, and full recoil, with results available the moment the session ends.
2.2 AED Practice Mode
A learner operates AED practice mode directly on the CPR Station touchscreen.
AED Practice Mode adds a scenario designed to feel like a real emergency, so learners come away having run through both parts of an actual response.
3. Test Your Skills in Ranking Mode
Animated demo: ranking mode scores chest-compression performance in real time.
Ranking Mode scores each session and lets users compare their results against their institution, their device, or a broader benchmark.
- Scores based on compression depth, rate, and recoil accuracy
- Results available immediately on a smartphone
- Rankings that encourage repeated practice
Session results can be transferred to a smartphone through a QR code.
Scores are sent to a smartphone immediately and can be saved or shared by QR code — a small touch that makes people want to come back and try again.
4. Remote Management with CPR Cloud
CPR Cloud connects deployed kiosks with a web dashboard for usage, results, and device-status monitoring.
Usage figures shown are current as of August 2025. For administrators, CPR Cloud shows kiosk usage and status in real time — daily, weekly, and monthly totals, visual dashboards, and per-kiosk online/offline status — without anyone having to visit each site in person.
What Administrators Can Monitor
- Automatic daily, weekly, and monthly usage totals
- Visual charts in the administrator dashboard
- Fleet-wide visibility without visiting each location
- Per-kiosk usage and online or offline status
As of August 2025, for example, CPR Station kiosks were already running at 25 locations under Seoul's fire service — all monitored the same way.
Model Selected for Icheon Nambu
The source article compares the CPR Station configurations available at the time of this August 2025 case study.
CPR Station was offered in three model configurations at the time of the source article. Icheon Nambu chose the compact Lite model, with a 21-inch touchscreen — sized for a lobby where space and foot traffic both mattered.
Screen size and available features vary across the three models.
Making CPR Training More Accessible
With CPR Station in place, Icheon Nambu Health Support Center has turned a hallway stop into a repeatable training opportunity.
Residents of any age or background can use it as many times as they like, in a setting close enough to a real emergency to build genuine confidence and response capability.
If you've ever wondered whether you'd know what to do in those first few minutes, this is a good place to find out — and to build the skills to help someone you care about in an emergency.
