Abstract: Abstract Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) use smart technology to determine whether a victim of cardiac arrest requires defibrillation and will deliver a shock only if one is needed. These portable devices are becoming increasingly more available in such places as airports, shopping malls, and sports facilities. This article reports on a model for determining appropriate locations for AEDs in a university community. Additionally, we describe difficulties encountered when attempting to implement the results obtained from the model.
