Systems, protective casings for smartphones, and associated methods to enhance use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) device

This invention describes a smartphone case designed to turn a regular smartphone into an automated external defibrillator (AED). The case would attach to the phone, containing sensors, capacitors, and extendable electrode pads. The phone's software would analyze a victim's heart rhythm, determine if a shock is needed, and then the case's components would deliver that electrical shock to reestablish a normal heart rhythm. One specific version of the invention includes electrode pads coated with nanomaterials.

Why it matters: Miniaturization of high-voltage power electronics and advancements in conductive nanomaterials for electrodes have progressed significantly since 2015, potentially making the core components more feasible for a smartphone accessory.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active.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, custom casing, safety software
