Heart Aid: Empowering Lives with Household CPR and AED Unit

Revolutionizing Emergency Response for Elderly Couples

Heart Aid was inspired by the growing need to address the alarming number of lives lost to cardiac arrest each year. Sahar Madanat, the visionary behind this design, recognized that elderly couples living independently are at the highest risk of suffering from permanent brain damage due to delayed medical response. With this in mind, Heart Aid was created to empower individuals closest to the victim, giving them the tools and knowledge to provide optimal care and increase the chances of survival to a remarkable 74%.

What sets Heart Aid apart from existing solutions is its unique combination of CPR and AED capabilities, specifically designed for the elderly. Traditional solutions often require lifting the patient, removing upper garments, and following robotic voice prompts, which can be challenging for the elderly population. Heart Aid simplifies the process with its ergonomic design and user-friendly features.

Upon activation, Heart Aid automatically calls 911, eliminating the need for the user to find a phone in a time-sensitive situation. The device also enables a live video call with paramedics, providing real-time guidance through each step of the process. Defibrillation can be performed over clothing, saving precious time. Heart Aid also includes easy-to-follow AED and CPR video tutorials on a large flexible HD screen, ensuring that users have access to clear instructions in high-stress situations.

Heart Aid's compact design allows for easy storage in the home, making it readily accessible when needed. By addressing the specific challenges faced by the elderly, Heart Aid revolutionizes emergency response and empowers individuals to take immediate action, potentially saving lives.

Recognizing its exceptional design and impact, Heart Aid was awarded the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2012. This accolade is a testament to the remarkable expertise and innovation demonstrated by Sahar Madanat Design Studio. The design showcases a perfect blend of technical excellence and artistic skill, evoking positive emotions and wonder.

Heart Aid is not just a device; it is a lifeline for those in need. With its user-friendly features and life-saving capabilities, Heart Aid has the potential to transform emergency response and empower individuals to become heroes in their own homes.
