Abstract

In this paper, we report the process changes and quantitative benefit analysis result when mobile IoT technology is embedded into AED(Automated External Defibrillator) for the emergency heart attack patients. To-be process change versus as-is stand-alone AED is illustrated based on BPMN(Business Process Model and Notation) standard, and ARENA simulation tool is adopted to assess the benefit as for the possible multiple to-be process scenarios. We reference the actual data collected from Centers for Disease Control and Public Data Portal to develop to-be scenarios and simulation modeling. The lead time to dispatch the emergent patients to the hospital, CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) treatment percentage, and survival rate are revealed to be radically improved, which are the benefit accrued by the implementation of mobile IoT based AED. The research result offers useful insight for the recently propagating mobile IoT based business model design and expected benefit analysis.
