Meet the Pocket-Sized Lifesaver Changing Outdoor Safety Forever

Small Device. Huge Impact.
The HEART Pocket AED is designed with one goal in mind instant access to defibrillation anywhere. Weighing less than 0.7 kg (lighter than a water bottle) and measuring just 5.3 × 8.6 × 15 cm, this device is small enough to slip into a jacket pocket, pack in a backpack, or fit neatly inside a first aid kit.
Imagine carrying something the size of a coffee cup that can restart a heart. That’s not the future that’s now.
For outdoor leaders, adventure guides, and community responders, the HEART Pocket AED is a gamechanger. It means no more relying on bulky AEDs at base camp or in vehicles miles away. Help is literally in your pocket.
