Philips Heartstart AED
SCHOOL PROJECT: 12 WEEKS
Empowering every heartbeat.
Saving lives when it matters most.
“Drowning is fast and silent. It can happen in as little as 20-60 seconds. Drowning doesn’t always look like we would expect.”
According to the CDC,
10
People drown everyday.
3,400
People drown every year.
#1
Drowning is the leading cause of death in children ages 1-4.
Why is this a problem?
Access to CPR and AED training is limited, leaving many people unprepared to respond to cardiac emergencies.
We must ask ourselves…
How might we design a product that can be effectively used by people who aren’t CPR/AED certified.
Understanding an Emergency Scenario.
Understanding the features that matter most.
Simplifying the Interface.
The Philips Heartstart 4 AED features a simplified interface with just one tactile shock button, a contact ON/OFF feature with the AED pad cartridges, and an interactive screen display with an automated CPR walk-through.
