In collaboration with buuuk.com, the iPhone app to locate the nearest AED to anyone in the world is out! Check out the screenshots below.
Here is a video of the app.
So to all the heroes out there, download the AED Nearby app from the app store now!
Best iPhone apps at AppStoreHQ
PS : We have apps for other smartphones ( eg Android – this is set to improve very soon ) and standard mobile phones. An app for Blackberry will be ready soon.
Disclaimer : As public-accessed AEDs are prone to abuse, availability of AEDs is not guaranteed. We have the 3 levels of verification to minimise this, the 3rd level of which is the Dying Man event.
That is right! Search ‘ShowNearby AED’ in the Android Market on your Android smartphones to download.
There are both features to take pictures and send the GPS coordinated of public AEDs to us, as well as to look for the nearest AEDs, in the same app.
We are looking for badge designs to identify 3 kinds of heroes :
1. Seeker
A seeker is someone who is actively on the lookout for AEDs ( automated external defibrillators ) in public places and in places of work to update us; or someone who in an actual event, seeks out the nearest AED and bring it back to the location of the victim. Do not need to be trained in CPR or in the use of the AED.
2. Pumper
A pumper is someone who does chest compressions on the victim.
3. Shocker
A shocker is someone who activates the AED and deliver shocks to the victim when advised to by the AED.
Calling all iphone users! Our partners at The Extraordinaries have created an iPhone app to help us create a world map of AED locations.
Please help us with just a couple of minutes of your time.
Your can download the application HERE.
With a few touches on your iphone, you can help save a live!
These are a few photos of AED taken by our international volunteers!

Please note that due to limits of Google Maps, not all AED locations are displayed.
With more micro-volunteers coming forward, we can add more AED locations to the world map above.
Updates : First Aid Corps is mentioned in the UK!
This explains what we aim to achieve. Enjoy!
Also available is the video with English Subtitles.

We are a coalition of individuals, companies and volunteers who are seeking to improve the survival rates from sudden cardiac arrests. The volunteers are trained to provide first aid, especially cardiopulmonary resuscitation with automated external defibrillators, to their families and neighbours who have collapsed from unknown reasons. Death from heart attacks occur within 5 minutes. Only residents in the neighbourhood can respond within that time. 2 out of 3 cases occur at home. By forming FACTs ( First Aid Corps Teams ), they aim to increase the sudden cardiac arrest survival rate from the current 2% to at least a double digit and promote social bonding and cohesion with a common goal in the community. This is the only volunteer service where the volunteers are productive while at home.
