Data-Driven AED Optimization Pilot Through CARES + NEAR Collaboration
Unified platform enables emergency response teams, public health agencies, and community partners to view OHCA incidents alongside AED availability.
Communities need clear, actionable insight to determine where Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) will have the greatest impact. To support this, the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) and the National Emergency AED Registry (NEAR) are launching a pilot that integrates real-world cardiac arrest data with verified AED location data. This effort will help agencies identify coverage gaps and optimize AED deployment.
The unified platform will enable emergency response teams, public health agencies, and community partners to view OHCA incidence alongside AED availability, helping direct devices where they can have the greatest impact and enhance the chain of survival.
