AED on Wheels

The AED on Wheels is a three-year pilot programme where 100 SMRT taxis have Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) installed in their vehicles. These specially-equipped taxis will increase the availability of AEDs in the community. In the event of sudden cardiac arrest, an AED can be delivered quickly to the scene, thus helping to improve the chances of survival for the victim. The programme to ‘mobilise’ AEDs through taxis on such a scale is a first-of-its-kind in Southeast Asia. Participating taxi drivers will be alerted, through the myResponder mobile app, by SCDF’s 995 Emergency Call Centre, of cardiac arrest cases within a 1.5-kilometre radius of their taxi’s location. Drivers who are able to respond will confirm their participation through the app (up to a maximum of 2 taxis) and drive the taxi to deliver the AED to the specified location. Participating SMRT taxi drivers are trained by SHF on the use of the AED, as well as proper cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques. In a cardiac arrest case, the taxi drivers will be able to support the community first responders already at the scene reviving the victim.
