Integrated wireless communications for automated external defibrillator (AED)
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- collecting, by a processor included in an automated external defibrillation (AED) device from a patient device, patient data associated with a patient, wherein the patient device includes a sensor to collect patient data, and wherein the patient device is different from the AED device;
comparing, by the processor, the patient data to historical data previously collected and stored by the patient device;
identifying, by the processor and based on the comparison, a heart condition associated with the patient;
forwarding, by the processor, instructions to a user device associated with a user of the AED device, wherein the instructions provide visual prompts that guide the user to apply defibrillation to the patient to address the heart condition, wherein the user device and the AED device are located at a common location, and wherein the user device is coupled to the AED device via a wireless local area network; and
forwarding, by the processor, a notification to a dispatch device, wherein the notification identifies a location associated with the AED device and an indication that the defibrillation has been applied to the patient, and wherein the dispatch device provides directions to a person who will provide emergency medical assistance at the location.

Abstract
An automated external defibrillation (AED) device includes a wireless interface to exchange data with one or more other devices. The AED device collects patient data associated with a patient and identifies, based on the patient data, a heart condition associated with the patient. The AED device directs a user to apply defibrillation to the patient to address the heart condition; and forwards via the wireless interface, a notification to a dispatch device. The notification may identify, for example, a location associated with the AED device. The dispatch device may direct emergency medical assistance to the location. The AED device may collect data, used to diagnose the heart condition, from a patient device and via the wireless interface. The AED device may further forward, to a user device and via the wireless interface, instructions guiding the user to use the AED device.

8. An automated external defibrillation (AED) device comprising:
-
a memory configured to store instructions; a wireless interface; and a processor configured to execute one or more of the instructions to; collect, from a patient device that is different than the AED device, patient data associated with a patient; compare the patient data to historical data previously collected and stored by the patient device; identify, based on the comparison, a heart condition associated with the patient; forward guide instructions to a user device associated with a user of the AED device, wherein the guide instructions provide visual prompts to guide the user to apply defibrillation to the patient to address the heart condition, wherein the user device and the AED device are located at a common location, and wherein the user device is connected to the AED device via a wireless local area network; and forward, via the wireless interface, a notification to a dispatch device, wherein the notification identifies the heart condition and a location associated with the AED device, and wherein the dispatch device provides directions to a person who will provide emergency medical assistance at the location. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium to store instructions, wherein the instructions comprise:
one or more instructions that, when executed by a processor included in an automated external defibrillation (AED) device, cause the processor to; collect, from a patient device associated with a patient, patient data associated with the patient, wherein the patient device is different from the AED device; compare the patient data to historical data collected by the patient device; identify, based on the comparison, a heart condition associated with the patient; forward guide instructions to a user device associated with a user, wherein the guide instructions provide visual prompts to guide the user to apply defibrillation to the patient to address the heart condition, wherein the user device and the AED device are located at a common location, and wherein the user device is connected to the AED device via a wireless local area network; and forward, via a wireless interface, a notification to a dispatch device, wherein the notification identifies a location associated with the AED device, and wherein the dispatch device provides directions to a person who will provide emergency medical assistance at the location. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
