When sudden cardiac arrest strikes, every second matters. For far too long, national SCA survival rates have remained stagnant at less than 10%.  It’s time to change the status quo. SaveHeart by HeartNation was founded to dramatically change this abysmal statistic by placing lifesaving AEDs outdoors in easily recognizable, protected, smart-monitored cabinets - available to use by anyone, anywhere, at any time.

Now, this pioneering mission has earned national recognition. MedTech Outlook, a leading publication that highlights innovation and impact across the healthcare and technology landscape, has named SaveHeart by HeartNation “Top AED Monitoring Technology 2025.”

Why This Recognition Matters

Each year, MedTech Outlook evaluates and honors companies that push boundaries in medical innovation and demonstrate measurable contributions to saving lives. Their editorial board and industry experts look for technologies that combine technical excellence with practical application — solutions that genuinely improve outcomes and advance community health.

For SaveHeart by HeartNation, this recognition reflects its simple but powerful mission: to place AEDs outdoors in public areas in highly-visible, all-weather, 24x7 accessible and monitored cabinets.  This approach enables immediate lay rescuers to take life-saving action in the critical minutes before emergency services can arrive.  That closes the gap, and that saves lives.

Built on Collaboration and Trust

We are incredibly grateful and honored by this award.  In truth, however, we also share it with other individuals and organizations that share this mission: Communities like Talbot County, Maryland, whose Talbot CARES program is a prime example for others to emulate;  Schools, Park Districts, Fire Departments, EMS agencies and other customers who have led the way in embracing outdoor AED programs; and Not-For-Profit partners who have honored loved ones by advocate & facilitate AEDs, trainings, and heart screenings in their local communities and schools.  We thank all of you for your partnership, support, and vision to put people first.

Together, we’re proving that technology can be both innovative and deeply human. Every outdoor cabinet placed, every life saved, and every story shared reinforces what can happen when design, technology, collaboration, and compassion come together.

The Best Is Yet to Come

This award also comes at an exciting time in SaveHeart by Heart Nation’s growth. Our GEN2 outdoor cabinets have received outstanding reviews due to their enhanced design, increased visibility, all-weather protection and advanced monitoring technology.  These all add up to accelerated response and lifesaving readiness.

Being named Top AED Monitoring Technology 2025 isn’t a finish line; it’s encouragement to keep working with one goal in mind: to protect more lives, in more places, every hour of every day. SaveHeart by HeartNation remains committed to strengthening communities, supporting first responders, and ensuring that lifesaving readiness is never out of reach.
