Abstract

Systems and processes are described that facilitate notifying PSAPs and others of emergency uses of AEDs. An AED management server receives electronic messages from the AEDs during emergency use of such AED. The server determines whether an emergency services triggering event has occurred based on various factors. When a triggering event has occurred, an incident notification is sent that directly or indirectly causes a PSAP responsible for handling medical incidents in a region that includes the reporting AED to be notified of the emergency use. Factors included in determining whether an incident notification is to be sent may include factors such as the state of the AED, the perceived accuracy of a reported location of the AED, whether PSAP notifications are enabled, etc. In some embodiments contact notifications are also enabled and/or an AED administrator may set various preferences related to incident notification for their AEDs.
