Save-A-Life Initiative
The Save-A-Life Initiative is an ambitious undertaking by Singapore Heart Foundation, in collaboration with the Singapore Civil Defence Force, to improve Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) survival rates.
The initiative consists of 3 key components:
- Alerting volunteers to nearby cardiac arrest cases via the “myResponder” mobile app
- Building a National Registry of Publicly Accessible AEDs
- Building an Electronic Registry of Members of the Public trained in CPR
What is this national registry?
The Registry for AED integration (R-AEDi), is the national registry of publicly accessible AEDs in Singapore that is managed by the Singapore Civil Defence Force and the Singapore Heart Foundation.
With a growing list of more than 10,000 registered AEDs, R-AEDi is crucial to making more AEDs accessible to the public in a matter of minutes during a cardiac emergency.
The registry can be accessed in real time through SCDF’s myResponder app, which uses a web mapping platform. App users are directed to locate the nearest publicly accessible AED from the site of the emergency.
The more AEDs are registered into R-AEDi, the greater their visibility in times of urgent need. Join the national AED registry today and help to save more lives!
