AED Link™ - Does your community’s 9-1-1 dispatcher’s know where the AEDs are so they can help a first responder access one and save a life? The AED Link™ system is an innovative, end-to-end solution that helps 9-1-1 dispatch agencies substantially and cost-effectively increase the benefits of publicly placed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) deployed in the community. The AED Link system™ offers mission-critical AED location data to 9-1-1 dispatchers via a regularly updated geographic information system (GIS) map layer. This map layer enables dispatchers to know the whereabouts of nearby registered AEDs so they can help those on-scene get these lifesaving devices to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) victims faster, thereby increasing the chances that lives will be saved. To find out more about how your community can get the AED Link™ system, send an email to Atrus, Inc.
