1. A processor-implemented method of managing a defibrillator in a first responder system, the first responder system including network-connected defibrillator monitoring units, direction prompters, and one or more client devices, the defibrillator monitoring units and direction prompters being installed at registered geographical locations, wherein the defibrillator monitoring units are associated with respective defibrillator cabinets, the method comprising:
identifying, by a first responder server, a defibrillator monitoring unit and a subset of the one or more client devices proximate to an identified sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) event location;
transmitting, to the subset of the one or more client devices, an assistance request;
receiving, from a subject client device of the subset, an accept message indicating acceptance of the assistance request; and
transmitting an activation message to the subject client device to initiate transmission of active beacon signals by the subject client device for activating at least one of direction prompters providing geographical direction to the identified defibrillator monitoring unit or audio/visual indicators associated with the identified defibrillator monitoring unit.
