Method and apparatus of remotely-operated automated external defribrallator incorporated into a handheld device

This invention describes a rescue device for heart defibrillation that uses a regular handheld device, like a smartphone, as a remote control. The handheld device connects to a separate defibrillator unit with two electronic pads. Before delivering an electrical shock, the handheld device uses its camera and image recognition to ensure the pads are correctly placed on the patient, specifically by verifying patient physiological features.

Why it matters: Filed in 2013, the significant advancements in mobile device processing power and AI-driven image recognition since then make real-time pad verification on a standard smartphone far more feasible today. This capability was computationally challenging on consumer handheld devices when the patent was originally filed.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHigh voltage electronics, medical regulation, image recognition software.
