Abstract
In general, the invention is directed to management of information from a plurality of emergency medical devices, such as automated external defibrillators, and associated docking stations. The medical devices and docking stations may communicate with one another and with a remote unit. The managed information includes patient status information. After a medical device acquires patient status information pertaining to treatment of a patient, the medical device establishes communication with a remote unit via a communication network and communicates the patient status information to the remote unit.
