Where the model has been proven
Three deployments, three different things proven: that the model works clinically, that it integrates with a national rescue authority, and that it scales outside Europe.
Paris: the clinical evidence
The Paris Fire Brigade is one of the largest urban emergency services in Europe. Over a full year, every out-of-hospital cardiac arrest managed by the brigade was analysed according to whether Staying Alive had been activated.
16%
survival to hospital discharge without a citizen responder on scene
35%
survival to hospital discharge with a citizen responder on scene

increase in the use of public defibrillators
The study was presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions and published in Academic Emergency Medicine. It remains the reference result for smartphone-dispatched citizen responders, and it is the study most often cited when a health authority asks whether the model actually changes outcomes.
Luxembourg: a national rescue authority
The Corps grand-ducal d’incendie et de secours, Luxembourg’s national fire and rescue service, selected Staying Alive to run its citizen responder programme. A single authority covering an entire country, in a multilingual environment, inside the European Union.

- A national deployment rather than a regional pilot.
- A different dispatch organisation from the French model, which proves the system is not built around one country’s protocols.
- European data protection and hosting requirements met without derogation.
A Gulf police force: scale outside Europe
A police force in the Gulf uses Staying Alive to supervise a large estate of defibrillators across public and private sites, with monthly and quarterly inspection campaigns and consolidated compliance reporting. The same client configured a dedicated alert type for its civil defence service, with its own responder qualifications.
This deployment proves something the European references cannot: that the platform operates at scale in a different regulatory environment, a different language and a different emergency response culture.
Client named on request

Every deployment starts with the same conversation: your coverage area, your dispatch system, and what you are trying to change. Thirty minutes is usually enough.
