Mobile Application for Crowdsourced Gamification of Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Locations

Published:15 October 2019Publication History

ABSTRACT

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are crucial for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs). Therefore, it is vital that AEDs are working and ready for use. However, knowledge of the locations of publicly accessible AEDs is limited, leading to difficulty in tracking, managing as well as obtaining one during an emergency situation. There is also often poor maintenance of AEDs (e.g., depleted batteries, expiration, or vandalism and theft). An AED locator mobile app was created to explore the feasibility of educating users on the location of AEDs and to motivate users to check the condition of the devices via gamification. An initial pilot study was conducted on the system's usability, effectiveness of gamification methods and users' motivation. Results suggest that gamification is effective in educating users on AED locations and motivates users to assess device condition
