1. A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device for enhancing the delivery of CPR to a patient, the device comprising:
a patient side for engagement with a chest of the patient;
a user side for engagement with at least one hand of a user delivering CPR to the patient; and
an actuator configured to at least partially alter an external form of one or more of the patient side and the user side during the delivery of the CPR to the patient so as to regulate a shape profile of the one or more of the patient side and the user side during the delivery of the CPR to the patient.
 
14. A control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device for enhancing the delivery of CPR to a patient, the CPR device comprising a patient side for engagement with a chest of the patient, a user side for engagement with at least one hand of a user delivering CPR to the patient, and an actuator configured to at least partially alter an external form of one or more of the patient side and the user side during the delivery of CPR to the patient so as to regulate a shape profile of the one or more of the patient side and the user side during the delivery of CPR to the patient, the method comprising:
acquiring one or more of the following data types:
force data of a force applied to the CPR device;
patient sensor data relating to a condition of the patient;
user sensor data relating to a condition of the user;
information on the patient;
information on the user;
acceleration data of acceleration of the CPR device at a plurality of time points;
image data of the CPR device positioned on the chest of the patient; and
pressure sensor data of pressure applied to the CPR device; and
controlling the actuator during the delivery of CPR to the patient so as to provide a target shape profile of the one or more of the patient side and the user side in accordance with one or more of the acquired data types.
 
15. A computer program which, when executed on a computing device, carries out a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device for enhancing the delivery of CPR to a patient, the CPR device comprising a patient side for engagement with a chest of the patient, a user side for engagement with at least one hand of a user delivering CPR to the patient, and an actuator configured to at least partially alter an external form of one or more of the patient side and the user side so as to regulate a shape profile of the one or more of the patient side and the user side, the computer program comprising program code to:
acquire one or more of the following data types:
force data of a force applied to the CPR device;
patient sensor data relating to a condition of the patient;
user sensor data relating to a condition of the user;
information on the patient;
information on the user;
acceleration data of acceleration of the CPR device at a plurality of time points;
image data of the CPR device positioned on the chest of the patient; and
pressure sensor data of pressure applied to the CPR device; and
control the actuator during the delivery of CPR to the patient so as to provide a target shape profile of the one or more of the patient side and the user side in accordance with one or more of the acquired data types.
