Scope: The Proposed Solution
AEDs should be found in all first-response vehicles. Additionally, AEDs may be found in public places like airports, office complexes, schools, sporting facilities,and other public locations. Although AEDs are becoming plentiful in today’s society, bystanders are often unaware of the location of the nearest AED.
Thus, in order to minimize the time between recognition of cardiac arrest and treatment with an AED, the scope of this design project is as follows:
Design a device that can be attached to an AED in order to track its location and store user-inputted information. This chip would be used in conjunction with an application for iTunes that will allow out-of-hospital cardiac arrest bystanders who have an iTunes-compatible device to quickly locate the AED based on information acquired from the tracking device.
