What is an AED?

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that helps save lives during cardiac arrest, when the heart suddenly stops and blood flow is cut off to vital organs.

AEDs check the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver a shock to restart the heart. When used quickly with CPR, they can greatly improve survival rates. AEDs are now commonly found in public places, businesses, schools, and homes, and are proven to be essential in emergencies.

Sustainable AED Access through Subscription

Pulse4all was founded by Peter Houtzagers to make AEDs more accessible and reliable for individuals and small businesses. With years of experience in the European AED market, he noticed many AEDs were not ready for use when needed.

Pulse4all focuses on improving access to working AEDs in the Netherlands, where 50 people have cardiac arrests daily, with 35 often fatal due to the lack of nearby, ready-to-use AEDs.

Their all-inclusive €35 subscription gives individuals and small businesses AEDs that are always maintained and ready for use, without the hassle or cost of ownership.

Pulse4all aims to make AEDs widely available in homes, workplaces, and public spaces. Currently, it serves thousands of customers in the Netherlands, UK, and France.

Focus on Growth and Community Health

Pulse4all plans to use its recent funding to acquire, install, and maintain thousands of AEDs to help in sudden cardiac arrest cases. They have already placed 2,000 devices in their main markets and aim to add over 6,000 by 2025.

To support this growth and expand into eight more European countries, Pulse4all will use most of the funds to buy AEDs, with the remaining funds going towards sales and operational costs.

Founder Houtzagers says, “The Netherlands is a leader in saving lives during cardiac arrests. We are the only country with so-called 6-minute zones, which raise the survival rate in the Netherlands to nearly 30 per cent, compared to 10 per cent across Europe. It’s possible to increase the survival rate throughout Europe to 70 per cent by implementing 3-minute zones, potentially preventing 350,000 unnecessary deaths annually. With investor support, we can make a real difference. The more investors who back Pulse4all, the more AEDs we can deploy across Europe.”
