Development of a first-responder dispatch system using a smartphone

We constructed a prototype community first responder (CFR) dispatch system. The system sends incident information, including a map, to the chosen CFR's mobile phone. We tested it in a simulation of 30 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incidents which had occurred in the town of Motegi during the p...

description We constructed a prototype community first responder (CFR) dispatch system. The system sends incident information, including a map, to the chosen CFR's mobile phone. We tested it in a simulation of 30 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incidents which had occurred in the town of Motegi during the previous year. Thirty off-duty firefighters acted as CFRs and were sent to the same locations. The mean response time (from the CFR receiving dispatch information to arrival at the scene) was 3 min 37s faster than the actual response time in the corresponding historical control, i.e. the response time was reduced by 36% (P
