AED vending machines and public installations

Written by: Michael Keferl on April 10, 2008 at 3:01 pm | In Technology & Gadget Trends |

Safety-conscious Japan has been deploying Automated External Defibrillators (AED) in public places the past few years, especially at schools and train stations. We’ve been spotting more and more of them lately, though we’re quite interested in finding some data on how often they’re used. Since vending machines are just about everywhere in Japan, it’s perfectly natural to combine their use to include a handy AED. Possibly useful for canned coffee overdoses?

It seems that Kirin is even using them in the machines at their factory tours as of November 2007.
