Company Performance Metrics
FirstAED is the perfect supplement to the existing emergency response systems. When there is an emergency call where speed matters, e.g. cardiac arrest, then it can dispatch nearby first responders in addition to the paramedic rapid response units and ambulances.
The system is based on practical experience from the Langeland AED Association
project combined with innovative and cutting edge smartphone technology. The system ensures faster response time and high quality in life-saving operations.
The four partners behind FirstAED got the initial idea for the system in April 2011 and have since worked hard to develop and fine-tune the system. The latest results from 600 cases show that the average response time has been reduced from 8-10 minutes before implementation of FirstAED to less than 5 minutes after implementation. And this is in an area with average ambulance response time averages 12+ minutes. Similar reductions are possible in urban areas where ambulances response times in many cases are over 5-6 minutes, and urgent medical cases therefor are ill-served.
