In Germany, 100,000 people still die of sudden cardiac death every year. To combat this enormous number, we are initially converting former emergency telephones into AED pillars with lay defibrillators. In 2015, we are developing new pillars with AED devices, which we will set up in places with high visitor numbers. Our "Fighting cardiac death" project is now called "Heartproof". We are now equipping entire districts and cities with lay defibrillators and working with local partners to train the population in resuscitation measures.
