There is reported to be effective for defibrillation using an AED, it is not always easy to find and retrieve a nearby AED in emergency settings. We developed a smartphone system (AEDmap) displaying nearby AEDs located anywhere. This system is used with a GPS smartphone, This system can be shown on a map the location of an AED from anywhere. To understand the effectiveness, we measured the time to find an AED using our system(AEDmap). Method We both were developed in the smartphone and the server. AEDmap we have developed and distributed free through Apple's website. This time, we used it to measure. Characteristics of 20 participants, mean age was 38 years(Age, year, mean±SD 38.1±8.04 ). We measured the time participants when using the software. Results The time to display a map on the smartphone was the location of a nearby AED mean 27.7 ± 1.82 seconds. The result was an average 27.7 ± 1.82 seconds to display the location of a nearby AED. Conclusion In our system, we find the nearest AED within 30 seconds regardless of the locality. Now is the time that the popular smartphone, this system is considered to be useful.
