Why?
AED's save lives
An AED is a device that can result in survival rates for cardiac arrest as high as 70% when used within the first 3 minutes of someone's heart stopping. So, they must be accessible and working when needed - and able to be found!
Current overall survival rates for cardiac arrest are extremely low - just 5%. But we can change that.
Up to date information
Having up to date information about the accessibility and potential reliability of an AED being rescue-ready when needed can help inform responders about which AED to retrieve when needed, if presented with more than one option.
Data sharing with community and health care servICes
Ensuring that location and availability data of AEDs is accessible to the community can help with planning for holidays and just general peace-of-mind and emergency preparedness.
Sharing data with health services such as ambulance and research bodies can help strengthen the response to cardiac arrest when it occurs.
Roles Supported
Owners
Register an AED as an owner of an AED - either organisation or private owner, and invite others (employees or friends) to help manage inspections
managers
A manager of an AED can carry out inspections and log them here, as well as update details of the location, brand, model, serial number, and accessibility of the AED.
guardians
Non-owners of AEDs can sign up to the site to help log inspections or sightings of AEDs that have been "crowdsourced" so that we can try to keep up-to-date information about the presence of AEDs in the community.
What it does
Registering aed's
The first step is to register more AEDs on the site. Owners and Mangers can register AEDs, and members of the public can register AEDs they find "in the wild", even if they do not own them.
Owners can then ultimately "claim" these AEDs and take responsibility for updating inspection logs.
inspecting aed's
Logging regular inspections of AEDs means that the infomration kept aboutt he AED allows the system to make informed decisions about which AEDs are more likely to be rescue-ready when needed based on the last inspection date, and the condition of the AED at the time of that inspection.
finding aed's
Strengthening the network of AEDs through systematic logging and "guardianship" of AEDs, means that there is a much greater chance that one of these devices will be able to save a life when needed, and more often.
Benefits
Reminders
Owners and managers will receive monthly reminders about inspections of AEDs, and have access to a platform where they can log the inspections.
record keeping
Not only can you log inspections, but you can manage 1 or hundreds of AEDs, assigning managers at multiple sites to log inspections and update records for each AED on an easy-to-use sytem on desktop of mobile devices.
rewards
Participate in our gamification program and receive points for each AED registered, each inspection logged - points are available to be earned by owners, managers and guardians. Each month, prizes will be awarded to the top 10 point scorers.
