FirstAED is a supplement to the existing emergency response systems. The aim is to shorten the first responder response times at emergency calls to below 5 minutes. FirstAED defines a way to dispatch the nearby three first responders and organize their roles in the hope of reducing response times, ensuring citizens safety and equal possibility to early defibrillation. First aid is provided by first responders who use their smartphone (iPhone 4S/5). FirstAED Global Positioning System GPS-track the nine nearby first responders and enables the emergency dispatcher to send an organized team of three first responders with distinct roles to the scene. During the first 21 months the FirstAED system was used 588 times. Three first responders arrived in 89 % of the cases, and they arrived before the ambulance in 95 % of the cases. FirstAED entailed a significant reduction in median response time to 4 minutes 9 seconds.
