definetz e.V.

About us

definetz e.V. was founded in April 2011 as a non-profit-organization focussing on the following topics:

Documentation of defibrillator-locations
Would you know where to find a defibrillator? Only a few people could answer this question and if: Would it be the closest one? In case of emergency there is not much time for life-saving action which should be taken within 3-5 minutes.

definetz e.V. provides
- a versatile and supra-regional register of AED locations
- suggestions for sc. projects in the field of economic and
social impact of SCA
- collection of existing data and evaluation
in the field mentioned above

Planning
The distribution of defibrillators does not
follow a reliable planning. In most cases the
decision where to place a life saving unit is
made based on subjective criteria. But there
should be a reproducable strategy to place
PADs at the „Point of Need“.

The setup of scientific criteria and instruments
to identify the optimized allocation of AEDs using
spatial planning methods developed by universities
in Germany and Austria is one of
definetz‘ main objectives.

Public Relations
Information about CPR and early
defibribrillation is commendably pub-
licized by several organizations and ini-
tiatives. definetz e.V. intends to collect,
connect and mirror these information as
well as promote information-exchange.
