An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that analyzes a person's heart rhythm during cardiac arrest and delivers an electric shock, if needed, to restore a normal rhythm. AEDs are designed for use by laypeople and first responders in public spaces like airports, schools, and offices, with voice prompts guiding the user through the process.
