“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.”

AED management solutions for stronger systems of care.
See how Florida public safety leaders are rethinking cardiac arrest response:
- Integrate AEDs with 911 to enhance speed to care
- Fully remote AED fleet monitoring to eliminate manual checks
- Seamlessly access cardiac arrest data post use to improve patient care
- The only AED with a rechargeable battery, cutting battery replacement costs
Florida Community Snapshot
Cardiac outcomes are shaped before help arrives.
8 in 10
More than 8 in 10 cardiac arrests occur in the home, witnessed by family members or lay rescuers
5 minutes
Most emergency responses exceed 5 minutes, even in high-performing jurisdictions
20%
Over 20% of cardiac arrests take longer than 9 minutes for responders to reach the patient
<5%
Lay rescue AED use remains below 5%, despite the proven impact of early defibrillation

Avive Connect AEDs in Lee County
Avive’s Solution
Built for the realities of first response.
Even in strong systems, cardiac arrest outcomes are frequently shaped before transport, before advanced care, and sometimes before additional first responders arrive. The challenge isn’t commitment or capability. It’s having visibility, connectivity, coordination, and support in the earliest minutes. The Avive Solution is designed around that reality.

Who this is built for.
Law enforcement
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
Fire-rescue
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
EMS
Increasing layrescuer intervention before EMS arrival
Preserving accurate event data from first alert through hospital care
Reducing informational delays that contribute to poor outcomes
Public safety leadership
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
When response is connected, outcomes change.
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.
911 Visibility & Dispatch
AEDs can be seen, verified, and dispatched as part of response.
Community as a Force Multiplier
Civilians are empowered to act with support.
Nearby Alerts
Those closest to the emergency are notified immediately. By text message and on their AED.
Data to EMS & ER
Event information follows the patient beyond the scene.
Key takeaway
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.
What an effective emergency response requires.
Preparedness
Lifesaving tools are placed where cardiac arrests actually happen.
Reliability
Resources are visible, ready, and coordinated under pressure.
Empowerment
Community members can act with guidance and support.
Continuity of Care
Accurate information follows the patient into EMS and the hospital.
These elements reflect how leading U.S. communities measure, evaluate, and improve cardiac arrest response.
