Independent readiness determination for automated external defibrillator deployment

A method comprising:

• initiating a request for a network connection between a plurality of stationary AED readiness apparatuses and a data network using one or more credentials of a predetermined series of credentials selected from primary credentials, secondary credentials, and rescue credentials for authenticating the plurality of stationary AED readiness apparatuses to the data network;
• and
• in response to establishing the network connection between the plurality of stationary AED readiness apparatuses and the data network:
• communicating event data for an automated external defibrillator (“AED”) enclosure event, the AED enclosure event corresponding to an AED registered to be disposed within an AED enclosure;
• classifying the AED enclosure event into a predetermined event category;
• and
• communicating a response action in response to the AED enclosure event.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the program instructions are executable by a mobile communication device to cause the mobile communication device to:

• configure a predetermined series of credentials selected from primary credentials and secondary credentials for attempting to connect a plurality of stationary AED readiness apparatuses to a data network;
• configure a mobile communication device as a temporary access point accessible using predetermined rescue credentials for one or more timed out AED readiness apparatuses to communicate one or more updated primary credentials and/or secondary credentials to the timed out AED readiness apparatuses;
• and
• in response to the AED readiness apparatuses connecting to the data network:
• obtain event data for an automated external defibrillator (“AED”) enclosure event detected by a detector controller, the AED enclosure event corresponding to an AED registered to be disposed within an AED enclosure;
• obtain responder data indicating a readiness status for a responder that is a user of the mobile communication device;
• and
• communicate a response action in response to classifying the AED enclosure event into a predetermined event category and determining that the readiness status for the responder satisfies predetermined criteria.
