112 app update will make defibrillators easier to find

Defibrillators will become easier to find - and hopefully more lives will be saved. Starting this week, the 112 app, which has 1.8 million users, will show where the nearest defibrillator is.

"The hope is that it will contribute to faster relief efforts at an early stage so that more lives can be saved," says Rebecka Andreasson Lindin, service manager for the 112 app at SOS Alarm, in a press release.

The new update in the app shows defibrillators registered in the Defibrillator Register.

"The more people who report possession of a defibrillator to the Defibrillator Register, the better the map coverage will be and the survival rate for victims will improve," says Bodil Berggren, Secretary General of the Swedish CPR Council, in the press release.
