Our Principles
For time-sensitive emergencies like cardiac arrest, opioid overdose, and stroke, survival rates are best when help is delivered within a few minutes of the initial incident — the average ambulance response time of 8-14 minutes in the United States just isn’t fast enough.
Combining mobile technology and a growing neighborhood network of medical professionals, Ember is making medical emergency response fast, effective, and accessible for everyone.
At its core, Ember believes in:
· Customers and Responders First.
· Saving Lives.
· Reducing Costs.
· Upholding Transparency.

Ember Protected Cities and Events: Changing the System One AED at a Time.
Saving lives requires the right equipment. To better enable the Ember network, Ember is changing the healthcare landscape — literally — with a plan to redistribute AED’s in test cities. With AED’s accessible within every .13 sq mile area, an AED is only a 5-minute walk away from any Ember responder (and cardiac arrest victim).
