Claim One:
1. An external defibrillator system configured for use by a local rescuer in cooperation with a remote rescuer to assist a patient, the local rescuer capable of carrying the external defibrillator system and of attaching electrodes to the patient, the external defibrillator system comprising: an energy storage module configured to store an electrical charge; a defibrillation port configured such that the electrodes can be electrically coupled to the defibrillation port by the local rescuer; a sensor configured to measure a physiological parameter of the patient, and to generate a patient value in response to the measured physiological parameter; a communication module configured to transmit the patient value to another device via a communication network, the communication module further configured to receive from the communication network an incoming message, the incoming message generated by the remote rescuer responsive to perceiving the patient value from the other device, the incoming message containing an encoded discharge instruction; a processor configured to: decode the discharge instruction from the incoming message, and cause, responsive to the decoded discharge instruction, the stored electrical charge to be guided via the defibrillation port and via the coupled electrodes to the patient.
