    Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical medical emergency where immediate access to an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) significantly increases the chances of survival. However, delays in locating or verifying the availability and condition of AED units remain a major challenge in emergency response situations. This project proposes an improved IoT-based AED monitoring system that enhances accessibility, security, and real-time visual verification within environments such as schools or campuses.

The system is developed using an ESP32 microcontroller integrated with a MC-38 magnetic door sensor to detect AED cabinet access. In addition, an ESP32-CAM module is implemented to provide real-time visual monitoring by capturing images or enabling live streaming when the AED cabinet is opened. The system also supports real-time data transmission, allowing users to monitor AED status and activity through a mobile application developed using MIT App Inventor. The device is powered by rechargeable batteries and designed for portable and practical deployment within indoor environments.

The expected outcome of this project is a smart AED monitoring and security system that improves emergency preparedness by combining location awareness, access detection, and visual confirmation. By integrating IoT and embedded systems technologies, this project aims to enhance AED management efficiency, ensure device readiness, and support faster decision-making during emergency situations. Ultimately, this system contributes to improving safety and response effectiveness in critical cardiac emergency cases.
