TrygFonden Hjertestarter app

The Hjertestarter app is a crucial health-focused mobile application developed and managed in Denmark. It was created to provide a real-time overview of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) across the country, allowing users and emergency dispatchers to locate the nearest life-saving equipment during cardiac emergencies.

The brand is originally Danish, founded by TrygFonden, which is the primary philanthropic arm of TryghedsGruppen. The app's development and maintenance are handled locally to ensure integration with Denmark's emergency services (1-1-2). As a non-commercial digital product, its "manufacturing" or software development is centered in Denmark, serving the Danish public as part of a national safety network. The app remains under the ultimate ownership of TryghedsGruppen, which operates as a member-based smba (limited liability association).
