iHELP emergency care network

The idea for the iHELP project originates in 2011. Disturbing statistics related to cardiovascular disease (i.e. 224 people a day die from sudden cardiac arrest in UK) made us think about how to enable the general public with an accessible and above all faster assistance, which is essential in order to ensure survival. The aim of the iHELP project is to have the largest rescue network that will be present locally and globally, and thus offer faster emergency help! We want to reduce the current high rate of mortality in the event of sudden cardiac arrest; increase the awareness about possible ways to help victims of cardiac arrest; assist local communities in setting up the defibrillators; and help business partners save their customers and employees, because this way whole society can save a lot of money. iHELP project has set a goal to place around 20,000 Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) in the world in five years, and by doing so we will enable a greater probability of survival in the event of sudden cardiac arrest.
