Safe campus using wireless managed automated external defibrillator (AED)

Abstract

We introduce our experience establishing a public access defibrillation (PAD) program on a university campus in South Korea using wireless managed automated external defibrillator (AED). Based on a preliminarily survey of the distribution of students on campus and medical staff accessibility, we installed AED in 20 campus buildings and then networked and managed the devices. There have been previous studies1,2 examining the establishment of PAD programs using information technology (IT), but none of the controlling AED systems through wireless technology.
