Problem
Sudden cardiac arrest is often deadly when an AED is too far away, with survival dropping 10% per minute. Only a fraction of cardiac arrest victims get help in time because traditional AEDs are too few, too far away, and too expensive for most people to own.
Solution
Joule is developing the world's smallest, easiest-to-use, and most affordable defibrillator, with an expected price of €1,000—around 50% less than traditional AEDs. The device features a two-button interface guided by voice and light, enabling untrained bystanders to deliver a shock even under time pressure. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry in a hand, bag, or car, ensuring it can be brought anywhere. The shell case is made with durable materials to keep the device protected and ready whenever it's needed, putting the power to act in the hands of ordinary people.
Target Audience
Primary customers are private individuals who want to keep an AED at home, in their car, or with them on the go, as well as travelers seeking portable life-saving equipment.
