Defibrio turns your
smartphone into an AED
80% of cardiac arrests happen in the home, 90% of those are fatal.
Survival rates increase dramatically when an AED is present but until now, defibrillators have been too costly and complicated for home use. We’re changing that with the power of your phone!
When connected through the USB-C port, Defibrio’s technology converts a small percentage of your phone’s battery into a lifesaving shock.
The Defibrio AED is light enough to carry in a handbag, and easily fits in a glove compartment, drawer, or cabinet.
The Defibrio app only presents a button to shock if it detects that the patient is in cardiac arrest. You cannot shock someone who doesn’t need it!
Simple animations and large text accompanied by audio guide you during an emergency in the language you’ve set on your phone.
Geolocation insures that you can reach local emergency services when you travel – and they can find you.
App notifications will remind you about updates and scheduled maintenance.
A familiar interface that’s easy to use in an emergency
Everyone knows how to use apps on their phone, and the Defibrio app reduces each step of treating a patient to simple, illustrated steps so you can act quickly and confidently in an emergency.
Saving more lives with an affordable subscription
Defibrio dramatically reduces its price by leveraging the power and features of your own phone. An annual subscription defrays the remaining cost, making up-to-date software, hardware, and pads affordable for any family.
Our Affordable Subscription Model
Your smartphone has a more sophisticated processor, display, battery, GPS, speaker and communications than any AED on the market – and you already own it, know how to use it, and charge it every day!
Our subscription model defrays the cost of the Defibrio, pads, and services so that we can make a home AED as common as a smoke detector, first-aid kit, or fire extinguisher.
Always Ready to Use
Older, larger, heavier generations of personal AEDs with dedicated batteries require constant maintenance and testing, and the electrode pads often expire without notice.
A Defibrio subscription provides automated device monitoring and free replacement of the pads when they expire to ensure that your device is always working and ready for an emergency – anywhere.
Always Up-to-Date
The Defibrio app sets it apart from other personal AEDs. Automatic software updates ensure that your device is working at its best and stays compatible with the latest updates from your smartphone manufacturer.
Defibrio will continue to release new features to provide the safest, most-effective experience when you need it.
