## Idee / Challenge
...
Develop a simulation model for ‘’Geo-optimization of distribution and connection of external Defibrillators".
## Ergebnis des Hackathons (Creativity / Deliverable)
We developed a multi-parametric simulation model for determining the most appropriate placement and distribution of AEDs taking in to account
various environmental parameters of a city/ region [considering mobile (e.g. taxis) and fixed (e.g. EMS stations)] to bring early resuscitation
to sudden cardiac arrest patients.
The impact of the model could be determined by the perceived reduction in response time for responders (volunteers and first responders) to reach
sudden cardiac arrest patients to start treatment (CPR+AED use) thereby improving survival rates.
...
## Nutzen für den Anwender (Applicability / Usability)
...
The model will help city officials in performing detailed assessment and determining appropriate placements of AEDs for maximum impact during
sudden cardiac arrest situations.
The output of the model could be fed on to smart phone apps like (first response app) to minimize response time for resuscitation.
It will help in improving survival rates of sudden cardiac arrests through early intervention.
Patients are benefited through early treatment and better outcomes during sudden cardiac arrest events. They also have a better quality of life
after the episode due to early intervention.
It will help taxi service companies to improve revenues through 'health taxis' (e.g. customers could pay an additional small fee of 30 cents/ ride)
## Geschäftspotential (Business Potential / Feasibility)
...
Sudden cardiac arrest is a major healthcare problem resulting in thousands of deaths every year. Cities/ Govts. are determined to improve cardiac health
of population due to high mortality and associated economic impact.
## Wie wird das Preisgeld verwendet?
...
Expand assessment to cover major regions around Kiel including additional parameters on the model (4K €)
Test run/ pilot on few health taxis (6K €)
Build a report for ambulance trust/ Govt. agencies for optimizing SCA response and inputs on specific locations for AEDs (3K €)
Sudden cardiac arrest awareness campaigns (2K €)
