Why is the
Great Aussie AED Hunt Important
Have you ever asked the question ... How can I find the nearest AED to my current location ?
The Heart of the Nation App helps you answer that question by showing you the 10 nearest AEDs around your current location.
Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are designed to be user-friendly, ensuring that anyone can use them easily, even without any prior training. This means that in a critical situation, any bystander can step in to provide immediate assistance to the patient. This accessibility reinforces the vital role AEDs play in our communities, acting as a first line of defence when a cardiac emergency occurs.
The importance of using an AED within the first three minutes of a cardiac arrest cannot be overstated, as it drastically increases the chances of survival.
To further facilitate this, Heart of the Nation has developed an app that provides a comprehensive view of the HotN AED network. With this app, locating a nearby AED is just a few taps away, ensuring that these life-saving devices can be accessed quickly and efficiently when every second counts.
