Abstract :Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are critically important for rapid intervention in cases of sudden cardiac arrest. For this reason, their presence in crowded places such as shopping malls and airports has become a legal requirement in some developed countries. However, for effective use, trained individuals must also be available. Considering that first aid may be needed at any moment, promoting the use of AEDs is highly significant. In this context, it is essential to provide hands-on basic life support training and ensure access to the necessary equipment during the training process. Most current training devices offer only voice commands, which creates accessibility barriers for individuals with hearing impairments. In this study, a microcontroller-based AED training device prototype has been developed. Compared to existing devices, it offers improved features such as visual instructions via an LCD screen, color-coded LED alerts for each step, and remote control through an Android application.
