US 2025/0166489 A1 · USER PREFERENCES IN RESPONDER NETWORK RESPONDER SELECTION

Abstract

Methods, user interfaces and systems are described that enable responder preferences to be considered during deployment of a public responder network. In some embodiments, a user is able to set preferences such as a mobility status, a public accessibility preference, a incidents notifications preference or a geographic preference associated with a medical device that is a part of the public responder network. In some embodiments, the user is able to select or define an area for which incident notifications are desired or are to be restricted in some manner. The described approach is well suited for public responder networks that include medical devices such as defibrillators (e.g., AEDs) in the network.

Dependent claims

A defibrillator network server configured to manage incident notifications in a network of defibrillators that includes a multiplicity of defibrillators that are configured to generate a nearby incident alert in response to the reception of a nearby incident notifications to encourage individuals that perceive the nearby incident alert to take such defibrillator to a potential cardiac arrest incident, the defibrillator network server being configured to:

for at least a first defibrillator that is included in the defibrillator network, receive a first administrator or user settable defibrillator preference;
in response to the reception of a first request for defibrillator assistance, execute a selection algorithm to identify a set of one or more defibrillator targets to be notified of a first potential cardiac arrest incident, wherein a determination of whether to include the first defibrillator in the set of defibrillator targets is based at least in part on the received first administrator or user settable defibrillator preference;
and
send nearby incident notifications to the identified set of defibrillator targets, whereby each defibrillator that receives one of the nearby incident notifications generates a corresponding nearby incident alert to encourage individuals that perceive the nearby incident alert to take such defibrillator to the first potential cardiac arrest incident.

A method of managing incident notifications in a network of defibrillators, the method comprising:

for at least a first defibrillator that is included in the defibrillator network, receiving an administrator or user settable defibrillator preference;
in response to the reception of a request for defibrillator assistance, executing a selection algorithm to identify a set of one or more selected defibrillators to be notified of a potential cardiac arrest incident, wherein a determination of whether to include the first defibrillator in the set of selected defibrillators is based at least in part on the received administrator or user settable defibrillator preference;
and
sending a nearby incident notification to each of the selected defibrillators, wherein each selected defibrillator is configured to generate a nearby incident alert in response to the reception of the corresponding nearby incident notifications to encourage individuals that perceive the nearby incident alert to take such selected defibrillator to the potential cardiac arrest incident.
