Frequently asked questions
Common questions about finding a public AED or defibrillator in Singapore, and how this directory works.
What is the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest?
A heart attack is usually a blocked artery; the person is often still awake. Sudden cardiac arrest means the heart stops pumping effectively: the person is unresponsive and not breathing normally. Call 995 for both. Use CPR and an AED for suspected cardiac arrest.
What is an AED?
An AED (automated external defibrillator) is a portable device that can analyse heart rhythm and, if needed, deliver a shock during sudden cardiac arrest. Public AEDs in Singapore give clear voice prompts so bystanders can use them while waiting for emergency services.
How do I find a public AED near me in Singapore?
Search AEDLocator by building name, postal code, MRT, mall, or planning area. Each listing shows the address, floor, exact location, and operating hours when the SCDF Public Access AED open data includes them.
Is an AED the same as a defibrillator?
Yes. AED stands for automated external defibrillator. In everyday language people say “defibrillator”; in public places and SCDF listings you will usually see AED.
Can anyone use a public AED?
Yes. You do not need to be a medical professional. Modern AEDs guide you step by step. Still call 995 first (or have someone else call), then fetch the nearest device if it is safe to do so.
Why might a listed AED be locked or unreachable?
A device can be publicly listed and still sit behind doors that close at night or on weekends. Always check the operating hours on the listing, and confirm access on-site.
Is AEDLocator for use in an emergency?
Use AEDLocator to learn where AEDs are listed near home, work, and transit. In a live emergency, call 995 and prefer myResponder for the freshest official map.
Where does the AED data come from?
Listings come from the Public Access AEDs dataset published by SCDF on data.gov.sg. We normalize fields for search and show hours and location text as provided — we do not invent accessibility or walking times.
