Sudden cardiac arrest kills over 350,000 people every year in the U.S. alone; unfortunately, survival rates have remained at around 10% for decades. Avive is changing the paradigm of response to cardiac arrest emergencies by building a connected platform that empowers bystanders to help and facilitates closer collaboration between emergency responders and healthcare providers. To achieve this, Avive has developed a rapid-response program called the 4-Minute City that involves strategically placing Avive’s automated external defibrillators throughout a city embedded with its connected platform coupled with community training.
