SAN FRANCISCO, March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Avive Solutions, Inc. is proud to have been named to Fast Company's prestigious list of the World's Most Innovative Companies of 2025. This year's list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations to set new standards and achieve remarkable milestones in all sectors of the economy. Avive Solutions was recognized as number 3 in the Small and Mighty: 51-200 employees category. Alongside the World's 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes 609 organizations across 58 sectors and regions.

Avive Solutions has developed the smallest, lightest and first new FDA-approved Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to enter the U.S. market in nearly 20 years, revolutionizing cardiac emergency response with advanced remote monitoring and cutting-edge connectivity features like being the first and only AED to alert 911.

In 2024, Avive achieved a major milestone in advancing our mission with the launch of QuickRescue™, a revolutionary feature that transforms how AED data is shared during Sudden Cardiac Arrest emergencies. Partnering with RapidSOS, QuickRescue™ enables the Avive Connect AED® to be the first and only AED that can directly alert 911, closing a critical gap in out-of-hospital response by ensuring that emergency data reaches dispatchers in real time. This innovation not only boosts survival rates by reducing time-to-defibrillation but also marks a significant leap forward in leveraging data-sharing technology to enhance cardiac arrest response systems, helping to provide faster response times for the patient, informed decision making for first responders, and peace of mind for the rescuer. This first-of-its-kind integration between lifesaving devices, 911 operators, and professional responders is meant to empower emergency services to respond more efficiently, more decisively, and to save more lives.

Additionally, Avive's REALConnect™ Platform leads the industry in providing near real-time insights into AED fleets, facilitating automated management for organizations with multiple devices. The Avive Connect AED® is also the first to offer seamless integration with 911 call centers through Intelligent Response™, which allows dispatchers to locate nearby AEDs and deploy them to cardiac emergencies. This innovation marks a major leap forward in how AEDs integrate with the emergency response system.

"Our list of the Most Innovative Companies offers both a comprehensive look at innovation today and a playbook for the future," said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. "This year, we recognize companies that are harnessing AI in deep and meaningful ways, brands that are turning customers into superfans by overdelivering for them, and challengers that are introducing bold ideas and vital competition to their industries. At a time when the world is rapidly shifting, these companies are charting the way forward."

"We are deeply honored to be recognized among the top three in Fast Company's 2025 Most Innovative Companies in the Small and Mighty category," said Avive Solutions CEO and Co-Founder Sameer Jafri. "Over the past year, Avive has made significant strides, particularly in advancing our 911 integration feature and enhancing our connectivity capabilities. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. It inspires us as we continue our mission to deliver AEDs more rapidly to those in need and make meaningful progress in improving survival rates for Sudden Cardiac Arrest."
