How CellAED® is redefining defibrillators
How CellAED® is redefining defibrillators
Throughout history, innovation has faced resistance, not because it lacks merit, but because it challenges the familiar. Yet, it is this very disruption that drives progress and creates better outcomes.
Take the humble lightbulb as an example. When energy-efficient bulbs were introduced, they turned decades of assumptions on their head. Consumers had to shift from associating brightness with watts (power) to lumens (actual light output).
This transition wasn’t easy, and neither was the industry’s adjustment to producing longer-lasting, more efficient bulbs. In fact, some manufacturers initially resisted the change, as demonstrated by the actions of the Phoebus cartel, which worked to stifle innovation to protect their commercial interests. But ultimately, this innovation reshaped how we think about lighting, benefiting both consumers and the environment.
Enter CellAED®.
CellAED® is challenging those new norms, pioneering a transformation from joules, as the primary measure of defibrillation effectiveness, to current.

For decades, joules, a measure of energy, has been used as a standard for determining the effectiveness of a defibrillator shock. CellAED®, however, is leading this paradigm shift using patented technology that delivers an effective shock with 75 joules, a fraction of the energy used by other defibrillators on the market.
Just as an energy efficient lightbulb can be as bright as a normal lightbulb, using a fraction of the power (watts), CellAED® can deliver an effective shock equivalent to other AEDs with half the amount of energy (joules). Research has proven that joules do not indicate the effectiveness of a shock, and it is the current across the heart that achieves defibrillation.
While standards exist to ensure safety and efficacy, without those willing to push the boundaries, innovation stalls. By reinventing how defibrillators deliver energy, CellAED® is making defibrillators more accessible, portable, and easy-to-use in real-world emergencies.

To our early adopters: thank you for embracing this vision. Together, we’re shaping a brighter future for personal defibrillation and saving lives in the process.
