The CIE of Universidad ORT invites you to learn and train with Helper, a venture incubated in the Center, which aims to save lives and generate social impact. In the workshops you can learn about the technology behind Helper and get trained to use it and contribute.

The Helper team will provide a free workshop to people interested in this technology, how to help others in cases of cardiovascular emergency, trauma and rescue. After the training, the trained helpers will connect to the application to be able to help any victim.

The application locates the nearest helpers at the moment of the emergency, activating the help button. This way, when the alert is received, the helper can arrive on the scene and help the victim until the ambulance arrives.
