The defibrillators I have seen in public areas, mostly have electronic 
alarms fitted, which flash a light and sound a siren when the case is 
opened.

One Australian surf lifesaving drones was planned to be able to carry a 
small defibrillator. I don't know if this was done.

Perhaps a defibrillator function could be *built into* delivery drones. 
This could be a lightweight pouch on the drone, containing the 
electrodes & electronics, powered directly from the drone's batteries.
