Defikataster: Your Lifesaving Companion

In emergencies where every second counts, knowing the location of the nearest defibrillator can make all the difference. "Defikataster," developed by the nonprofit organization Definetz e.V., is here to empower you with critical life-saving information. With over 27,000 registered locations as of October 2017, this app provides one of the most extensive databases of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in Germany. Whether you're at home, work, or traveling, the app ensures you're never far from potentially lifesaving equipment.

The app doesn't just list locations; it goes above and beyond by offering comprehensive details about each defibrillator. Beyond basic addresses, it includes vital information such as the operator responsible for the device, its maintenance status, and accessibility factors like whether the unit is locked behind a door. This level of detail ensures that when seconds matter, you won’t encounter unnecessary obstacles while trying to locate and use a defibrillator. Additionally, the app features a unique capability to display mobile AED systems, such as those installed in vehicles, providing real-time updates on their locations to facilitate rapid assistance wherever needed.

One of the standout aspects of the Defikataster app is its commitment to accuracy and reliability. Unlike many similar apps that rely solely on user submissions, Definetz e.V. employs full-time staff and a network of trained volunteers to meticulously review and verify every entry. This rigorous process guarantees that the data provided is accurate, up-to-date, and trustworthy. As a result, users can trust the app to deliver precise guidance during critical moments.

Definetz e.V.'s efforts extend beyond just creating a robust database. The organization operates independently of any manufacturers and operates solely on donations and membership fees. By supporting the work of Definetz e.V., individuals contribute to maintaining and expanding this invaluable resource for communities worldwide.

This initial version of the Defikataster app introduces an Android application designed to provide seamless access to the best defibrillator data available. It also integrates additional useful information to enhance your experience further. With ongoing improvements planned, the future holds even more potential for this lifesaving tool.
