Here's a thought. How about getting the AED manufactures to install

a something that contacts 911 when the AED is activated (something like

the OnStar system). If the technology exists to do that with a car in

the middle of nowhere (as I hear it advertised) then it should work for

AED's too. Sure it might bump up the price a little, but a couple

hundred extra would be worth it if it gets EMS called out to a location

(that could be pinpointed with the system).

Like I said, just a thought.

First consider the size of the antenna assuming either 1/5 (recommended),

1/4, or full wavelength. Most cell phones use 400Mhz, some use 800Mhz.

Assuming 800Mhz gives a wavelength of approx 35cm. 7cm, a little under 3

inches in total wire length which can be wrapped to make it shorter. Double

this length for 400Mhz. So antenna size is not a problem.

Now consider the power output that a radio in a car can produce and that it

is outside, which is significantly different that a handheld device. Next

consider that most AEDs will be used in a building. Think about cell phones

in buildings with concrete, add to it other cell phones and 802.11B and G

wireless lans. The cell phone/radio would probably needs to generate 5+

watts. There is still no guarantee that it can communicate to a base

station.

Is it possible yes but there is a lot of engineering and most likely would

not work properly.

that is actually a VERY good idea. a " call 911 button " , and it would do it

automatically if a shock was delivered.

, that is a stellar idea! In fact, it is so good that I

encourage you to get it to market FAST before somebody here scoops you!

Red, most cellphones are neither 400mHz nor 800mHz. Most cellphones

today are multiband, and operate primarily in the 1.3 - 1.4gHz range,

with the old 800mHz band pretty much relegated to a backup for bad

signal areas and rural regions. Regardless, satellite technology

could also be utilized in the AED's.

i wasent the one who got into details about the frequency of the cell

thanks for the compliment though :)

Might be cheaper if you had the first thing the AED tells you to do after

turning it on is to instruct " call 911 now " . Lots of people let machines do

their thinking for them.

Thanks for the compliment (Just don't tell anybody... Might spoil

my image). Actually, I was thinking satellite comms instead of

cellular. Cells are great, but sats have better coverage, and while

cell phones are smaller, sat phones are getting smaller too (my nephew

just joined the Navy and he was looking into getting one when he

completes his training and gets a ship assignment). Besides using voice

comms, a simple trip switch in a mounting where an AED is stored can

also be used to notify 911 (or building security who can contact 911 and

get the location pinpointed), just like an alarm that alerts when a

wired door or window is opened.

I would like to make some coin off of the idea, but I wouldn't know

where to start. Can an idea even be copywrited if a person doesn't know

the mechanics of how to implement it (like I tell my wife, there is a

reason I work on people and not machines)?

Most all of the newer models are directing the user to call for help, then to

remove the clothing from the chest, as the first two steps. The new models from

Cardiac Science and Physio Control are examples.

The Zoll AED follows the AHA Chain of Survival which directs the user

to activate EMS. That's the only AED I've seen with this process.

The Zoll unit does just that, and more. It prompts them through the

entire CPR sequence in case they forgot. But, as soon as the pads are

attached, it skips right to the " analyze " phase, as it should.

So itt is feasible, and even being done.
