Why every minute counts
In out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the chance of survival drops by roughly 10% for each passing minute without treatment. Rapid access to a defibrillator can be the difference between life and death, so locating one quickly is critical.
What the app does
- Provides an interactive map of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) across Spain so you can find the closest device fast.
- Lets users attach photos and precise GPS coordinates to AED entries, improving location accuracy.
- Enables confirmation of existing entries submitted by other people to keep the database reliable.
- Shows device locations in both public and private spaces, increasing the number of accessible AEDs listed.
How volunteers and the public help
- Anyone — not only certified CPR responders — can add AEDs to the registry, making it a true crowd-sourced resource.
- Contributors can validate devices uploaded by others to improve data quality and trust.
- The community model helps maintain an up-to-date inventory of defibrillators throughout the country.
Rewards and motivation
- The app uses gamification to encourage participation: users earn symbolic badges for uploading or verifying AEDs.
- Those badges build a personal record of contributions visible on your profile, recognizing active participants.
