Cardiac arrest, heart failure and heart irregularities are one of the most common health issues in the world. People of all ages, backgrounds and health conditions can have heart conditions and issues that can require action in a second. If someone experiences cardiac arrest, their chance of survival increases immensely if a defibrillator is used on them, and the faster that defibrillator gets to them, the better their chances of survival. The problem with using defibrillators is that time is of the essence, and in these stressful situations it can be hard to locate and navigate to the nearest defibrillator quickly. Enter: Revive.
