AED crowd-funding / foundation anyone? (Score 1)

Allover internet we see a high need for AEDs, and schools and other public places in big need for AEDs, due to very high price. Isn't it possible to have the costs lowered? A smart mobile phone is overall hundreds of times more complex, full of patents, still much cheaper (~500$) than a defibrillator (1500-3000$). Yes, phone is cheap as it's sold in many exemplars, but so would be a reasonably priced AED which would literally save lives around the world. Probably many would happily invest both technical knowledge for building it and money for the "scary part": required ratification/certifications of the device on few continents (US, EU, etc). A foundation like Rasbperry Pi would do miracles. Or maybe even approach RPi foundation to extend their programming&HW challenge for both the algorithm and required hw implementation? What would ./ readers suggest?
