See how public safety leaders are rethinking cardiac arrest response:
Cardiac arrest response doesn’t hinge on one agency or piece of equipment. Outcomes are shaped across a system - from the first 911 call, to first response, to hospital care.
KEY TAKEAWAY: Survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains low not because therapy doesn’t work. But because lifesaving treatment isn’t reaching patients fast enough.
Avive supports public safety leaders responsible in building, coordinating, and sustaining effective emergency response systems to save more lives from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
“Implementing the Avive Connect AED® into our system was amazing because it allowed us to not only know where the AEDs are but it allows us to monitor them in real-time. It allows us to dispatch the AEDs which truly makes the AED a powerful tool and an actually usable tool.”
Enabling faster, smarter pre-hospital care when officers are already first on scene.
Improving time to first shock with easy to use, connected AEDs
Reinforcing confidence that 911 has visibility into AED use
Coordinate early intervention across fire-based partner agencies and community responders
Streamline cardiac arrest data transfer from AED to hospital
Align prevention, response, and public education into one operational system
Increasing layrescuer intervention before EMS arrival
Preserving accurate event data from first alert through hospital care
Reducing informational delays that contribute to poor outcomes
Shared visibility across disciplines without changing operational roles
Confidence that community response, first response, and EMS are working together
Adefensible, outcomes-driven way to strengthen public trust
Connectivity allows public safety to move from isolated actions to a unified response — aligning 911, community resources, and care around the same incident in real time.
AEDs can be seen, verified, and dispatched as part of response.
Civilians are empowered to act with support.
Those closest to the emergency are notified immediately. By text message and on their AED.
Event information follows the patient beyond the scene.
In Florida, like most parts of the country, cardiac arrest response is increasingly defined by a hard reality: most events happen in homes, response times often exceed the window where defibrillation is most effective, and lay rescue AED use remains low.
Florida’s challenge isn’t a lack of effort or commitment. It’s the gap between when cardiac arrest happens — and when coordinated help can arrive. That gap is where outcomes are shaped.
Lifesaving tools are placed where cardiac arrests actually happen.
Resources are visible, ready, and coordinated under pressure.
Community members can act with guidance and support.
Accurate information follows the patient into EMS and the hospital.
