Teen Creates App That Could Help Save A Patient’s Life If They Go Into Cardiac Arrest

13-year-old Jace Billingsley is a star student at Buffalo Creek Middle School in Palmetto, Florida, but he’s also succeeding outside of school as well.

Jace has created an app that could save someone’s life in the event that they go into cardiac or respiratory arrest.

Jace made it his mission to help medical staff since his father is a respiratory therapist.

The app, called Code Blue, allows hospital staff and healthcare workers to accurately time medicine, pulse checks, and compressions while logging what happened for records.

“In the event of the code blue, you can start a code on the app and that will let you give them the starting medicine and it will tell you to give them compressions until you do a pulse check,” Jace explained to Fox 13 News.

Jace says he plans on improving the app and adding more features so that hospital staff can use it with ease.

So far, the app has already won an award. Jace was honored by Congressman Vern Buchanan after Code Blue won the 16th Congressional District App Challenge.

Jace is also a member of the Technology Student Association at his school and says technology is an extremely valuable asset for businesses and occupations.

“I knew that this kid was going to change the world. This is something that is going to change the world. These kids can change the world. You just need to give them the opportunity,” Jace’s teacher TJ Leahy told Fox 13 News.
