There are an increasing number ofdefibrillators in Highland Perthshire and this App is designed toallow users to find the location of all defibrillators and to findthe one nearest to their location.

This App was made with funding provided by the Friends OfPitlochry Hospital and assistance and sponsorship from HPCP andMichella Samy Freedom Personal Assistance who facilitated theproject, and a great deal of guidance and support from the ScottishAmbulance Service.

The Pitlochry High School computer and Art classes designed allof the icons used in this app, with guidance from anna Ford ofAtholl Road Design, and some of the pupils formed a sub-group toincorporate the GPS mapping co-ordinates into the app'sdatabase.
