About VerLife

Cardiac arrest is the main cause of mortality in Spain after cancer.

Every 20 minutes there is a case of sudden death and in many of these cases it could have been avoided if we had had a defibrillator (AED) at our fingertips.

80% of heart attack cases take place outside the hospital setting:

* The time to save a victim of cardiorespiratory arrest is 4-5 minutes and, for every minute that is lost, the chances of survival decrease by 10%.

* Having a defibrillator in this short time can help save many lives.

* It is very important that a person who is suffering a cardiorespiratory arrest receives prompt attention with a defibrillator within a maximum period of 5 minutes.

* If the use of a defibrillator occurs in less than five minutes, the chances of survival increase between 70% -90%.

The average response time of the emergency services is 15 minutes, so having an AED in less than 5 minutes is KEY to saving LIVES.

If you are suffering a heart attack or someone close to you, do not hesitate to ask for help through the Verlife lifesharing network.

OUR OBJECTIVE: To bring an AED and a qualified assistant, as soon as possible, to the person who needs it.

You too can become a hero.

YOUR CITY: From the private and public sphere, the installation of defibrillators is being promoted in places with a large influx of people, creating "cardioprotected areas". But it is insufficient and the defibrillator and staff, properly trained for its use, are not always close to where the accident occurs.

HEROES: A multitude of vehicles in motion, circulating through the cities, carrying an AED, trained for its use and capable of arriving as soon as possible where it is necessary.

LIVES: By downloading the Verlife APP you can contribute to saving the life of someone in your family, a friend or person close to you if they suffer a cardiorespiratory arrest. You can save lives.
