Our Story
How a Volunteer Teaching Moment Changed First Aid Training
In 2008, Dr. Timothy Adams, a California anesthesiologist, volunteered to teach First Aid to Boy Scouts. He noticed a problem: traditional manikins couldn't provide realistic feedback for abdominal thrust training. Students could go through the motions but never truly knew if they were doing it correctly.
Determined to improve training, he built something better. Using discarded operating room supplies, he created early prototypes of a wearable device that could simulate a real choking emergency. Each prototype gave visual confirmation when abdominal thrusts were performed correctly, allowing learners to practice with confidence.
The first prototype changed how those students learned. And a company was born.

Why Act+Fast
A Training Tool That Actually Works
Unlike static manikins, the Act+Fast Trainer is wearable and provides immediate, visible confirmation when a technique is performed correctly.
Immediate Visual Feedback
When abdominal thrusts are performed correctly, the foam plug ejects, giving instant, unambiguous confirmation that builds true muscle memory.
Real-World Wearability
Students practice on each other, not a static dummy. The wearable design mirrors an actual choking emergency, building the reflex to act when it counts.
Patented, Safety-Tested Design
The patented air bladder and foam plug system delivers consistent, realistic simulation. Built for repeated professional use with durable, high-quality materials.

Because Seconds Matter
Choking is one of the leading causes of unintentional injury and death, especially in young children. In a real emergency, hesitation costs lives. Simulation-based training removes that hesitation.
- 1
Builds True Muscle Memory
Repeated physical practice under realistic conditions creates automatic responses. They're the kind that fire when panic sets in.
- 2
Immediate, Unambiguous Feedback
The foam plug ejects only when technique is correct. No guesswork. No assumption. Students know they did it right.
