Welcome to HeartCrowd Philadelphia

325,000 Americans die each year of sudden cardiac arrest. Some of these deaths could be prevented through the timely use of a defibrillator. The inability to locate AEDs in such emergency situations greatly reduces their intended life-saving impact. You can help by reporting locations of AEDs throughout Philadelphia!

Report an AED whenever you see one at your workplace, in a theater, or on your way home. AEDs may be located at office buildings, gyms, shopping centers, restaurants, hotels, schools and universities, medical offices, community centers, and other public places. You can report an AED here or through an app for your Android phone.

You will be awarded points for each report and for inviting your friends. The points will be converted into cash if our team wins the competition. You are free to keep the money or donate to charity (we are not keeping any money)! I'd like to learn more

Help us complete an up-to-date map of defibrillators (AEDs) throughout Philadelphia. You can have fun, make money, and save lives.

There are 3 ways you can contribute:

1. report locations of unlisted AEDs in Philadelphia
2. verify questionable AED locations
3. invite others to participate

If our team finds the most AEDs, the prize money of $10,000 will be split among the participants in proportion to their contribution. Any leftover amount will be donated to charity.

How will you be compensated?

Apart from contributing to an effort that will save lives, if we win, the prize money will be split among you as follows (any undistributed amount goes to charity):

For a limited time, you will receive $70 for each defibrillator you report.

Invite your friends!

Every time a friend you invited reports a new AED you receive $30.

We are a multi-national team of scientists, crowdsourcing specialists, and volunteers like you, working together to win the MyHeartMap challenge.
