PADmap is a free to use, data-driven service to help you put public access defibrillators where they are most likely to be needed.
What does PADmap do?
We’re all fighting to increase the survival rates of those experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. For the best chance of survival, public access defibrillators (PADs) need to be close to where arrests happen, ideally within 200m (taking about a 4 min round trip to fetch). PADmap can help you to identify new PAD locations that will be close to the highest number of future arrests.
Does it work?
“As of February 2025, we’ve placed 104 PADs in total, 41 using PADmap and the rest on intuition and experience and the results are really encouraging. PADs placed with PADmap recommendations are seeing twice the deployments and 66% more shocks.”
