Problems solved by technology
Accordingly, it is evident that SCA is a costly and disruptive medical affliction on our society.
Tragically, the victim typically collapses and dies unless he or she receives proper medical attention.
A crucial component of the success or failure of defibrillation, however, is time.
Currently available AEDs, while effective, are still less than ideal for most situations.
For example, while AEDs are readily available in public settings and are not complicated to use, it has been found that untrained bystanders typically cannot, or will not, utilize devices even when they are easily accessible.
Even when one does attempt to utilize an AED in a public setting, it can be a challenge to actually locate an AED.
During that time, precious minutes may have passed.
Despite the increasing presence of AEDs in public places, a central problem with combating SCA still remains: approximately 80% of sudden cardiac arrests occur at a private home or residence, not at a public building.
Until AEDs are readily available for use in generally private places, such as homes and in cars, their effectiveness will remain significantly limited.
More specifically, until AEDs are designed to be conveniently and regularly carried by non-professional rescuers, and are designed for quick, uncomplicated use, the effectiveness of AEDs may remain limited.

Embodiment Construction
[0041]To improve upon the survivability of SCA in a home setting or another non-medical setting, a system of network-enabled AEDs is envisioned to allow access to a nearby AED during the event of a cardiac emergency. By knowing the location of existing AEDs in a given geographical region, and organizing the ability to communicate with others to gain access to an AED when a cardiac emergency occurs, the survivability of SCA can be greatly improved. One goal of the subject disclosure is to find a way to make AEDs available in as many locations as possible, which is where they are needed most, and enable consumers to use them with confidence. This can be accomplished by creating a “safe home architecture” that requires collaboration by a partnership of existing manufacturers; services that provide broadband entertainment, security, and medical monitoring services to millions of residences; cell phone networks; smartphone application developers; emergency service providers; and consumer...

A system and method of network-enabled automatic electronic defibrillators (AEDs) may be used to assist with cardiac emergencies. The system includes at least two AEDs positioned in different geographic locations. At least one location-providing tag is positioned on each of the at least two AEDs. A controller is capable of communicating with the location-providing tag of each of the at least two AEDs through at least one network connection. When a cardiac emergency occurs, an AED located nearby may be identified or requested to assist with the emergency.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 674,390, filed Aug. 10, 2017, which application in turn claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62 / 373,800, filed Aug. 11, 2016 and from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62 / 504,993, filed May 11, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]The present disclosure is generally related to medical devices and more particularly to a system and method for network-enabled automatic electronic defibrillators (AEDs).BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0003]Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), which is also known as Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD), is a leading cause of death among adults over the age of 40 in the U.S., and throughout the world. In the U.S. alone, more than 300,000 men and women of all ages experience SCA annually. Tragically, nearly nine out of 10 victims die. In relation to other common lethal conditions, t...
