In 2017, three innovators - Sameer Jafri, Rory Beyer, and Moseley Andrews - founded Avive Solutions with a singular mission to dramatically increase survival rates from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). They recognized a critical gap in emergency response: despite SCA claiming over 350,000 lives annually in the U.S. alone, survival rates remained stagnant at just 10%. The founders understood that while AEDs existed, they were often inaccessible, difficult to maintain, and disconnected from emergency response systems. This insight drove them to reimagine cardiac arrest response from the ground up.
Avive developed the Avive Connect AED®, the smallest and lightest AED on the market at just 2.1 pounds, featuring groundbreaking innovations including the industry's first 911 integration, rechargeable battery, and comprehensive connectivity through Wi-Fi, cellular, and GPS. But they didn't stop at hardware. Avive built REALConnect™, a software platform that enables remote AED monitoring, fleet management, and seamless data sharing with emergency responders. Their 4 Minute Community™ program creates coordinated response networks that bridge the critical gap between cardiac arrest and care - because they know that every minute without defibrillation decreases survival chances by 7-10%. Today, Avive partners with communities nationwide, from police departments to schools to businesses, creating connected systems of care that are saving lives when every second counts.
