    I know right, in case you didn’t look at the rest of the website, they are also purveyors of open source medicine and that’s their real big thing, is helping you get the healthcare you need at a price you can afford.

      I browsed it all and I’m intrigued!

      However, I live in Sweden so it’s somewhat less relevant for me. I’m happy that it exists though, and I’ll be interested to follow the progress in the future!

        They are working also on creating an open source AED device, which no matter where you live would be something useful.

            Oh, that’s useful. But how many people would you say have an AED with an easy range of their home?

              A surprising amount when it comes to Sweden, actually! I believe there’s a significant educational gap here, with CPR courses trying to spread the word about resources on how to locate your nearest AED.

              This applies to urban environments of course, with suburban and rural being a different story.

              To answer the question I think you’re posing - yes, this device could be useful in Sweden.
