Abstract: Code Blue refers to a medical situation in which a patient suffers cardiac or respiratory arrest and requires immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A few systems have been developed to support these types of situations. In this paper, we present a preliminary evaluation of CARES, a system that employs mobile technology to support the coordination of response teams in Code Blue emergencies to minimize response times. The evaluation of the CARES system is aimed at exploring the usefulness and ease of use constructs in medical staff. From the data collected, participants agree that the system would be easy to use. Particularly, the Ease of Use factor was rated generally higher that the Usefulness construct by our participants.
