Abstract
A variety of methods, medical devices, responder network servers, emergency services interfaces and call center related processes are described that can help improve responder networks designed to get a medical device such as an automated external defibrillator and/or volunteer responders to the scene of a potential medical incident.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- receiving a request for defibrillator assistance that identifies a location of a potential sudden cardiac arrest incident;
- selecting a first set of one or more defibrillators to be notified of the potential sudden cardiac arrest incident;
- and
- sending a nearby incident message to a communication unit associated with each defibrillator in the first set of defibrillators, each nearby incident message being arranged to cause a nearby incident alert to be generated in response to the reception of the nearby incident message to indicate that there is the potential sudden cardiac arrest incident occurring nearby for which such defibrillator may be useful;
- and
- wherein a determination of whether a first defibrillator is selected for inclusion in the first set of defibrillators is based at least in part on at least one of:
- (i) a reported battery charge level of the first defibrillator,
- (ii) an indication of a result of a most recent self-test of the first defibrillator,
- (iii) a reported current operational status of the first defibrillator,
- (iv) a reported electrode pad status of the first defibrillator, and
- (v) when the first defibrillator has expired electrode pads, a factor of how long the electrode pads have been expired.

A responder network server configured to communicate with a multiplicity of known defibrillators, the responder network server being further configured to:
- receive a request for defibrillator assistance that identifies a location of a potential sudden cardiac arrest incident;
- for each of a plurality of reporting defibrillators among the multiplicity of known defibrillators, receiving a current status report that provides information about a current status of the associated reporting defibrillator;
- and
- select a first set of one or more defibrillators to be notified of the potential sudden cardiac arrest incident based at least in part on information contained in the received status reports, wherein only defibrillators for which a current status report has been received are included in the first set of defibrillators;
- and
- send a nearby incident message to each defibrillator in the first set of defibrillators, each nearby incident message being arranged to cause a nearby incident alert to be generated in response to the reception of the nearby incident message to indicate that there is the potential sudden cardiac arrest incident occurring nearby for which the associated responding defibrillator may be useful;
- and
- wherein a determination of which of the plurality of reporting defibrillators are selected for inclusion in the first set of defibrillators is based at least in part on at least one of:
- (i) defibrillator battery charge levels reported in the status reports;
- (ii) defibrillator self-test test results reported in the status reports,
- (iii) current operational statuses of the defibrillators reported in the status reports,
- (iv) current electrode pad status reported in the status reports, and
- (v) for any of the reporting defibrillators that has expired electrode pads, a factor of how long such electrode pads have been expired.

A method comprising:
- receiving a request for defibrillator assistance that identifies a location of a potential sudden cardiac arrest incident;
- selecting a first set of one or more defibrillators to be notified of the potential sudden cardiac arrest incident from a second set of known defibrillators, wherein the selection of defibrillators for inclusion in the first set of defibrillators is based at least in part on reported battery charge levels of such defibrillators;
- and
- sending a nearby incident message to each defibrillator in the first set of defibrillators, each nearby incident message being arranged to cause the associated defibrillator to generate a nearby incident alert in response to the reception of the nearby incident message to indicate that there is the potential sudden cardiac arrest incident occurring nearby for which the associated responding defibrillator may be useful.
