Welcome to AED Risk Insights, the nationally recognized authority on automated external defibrillator (AED) program operations, risk management, law and public policy. As a leading consulting firm with engagements across the United States, AED Risk Insights provides clients with innovative guidance and solutions to manage the complexities of AED program design, implementation, operations and post-incident review.

An AED program is a framework within which people, systems, methods, equipment and actions are configured to prepare for and respond to sudden cardiac arrest emergencies prior to the arrival of traditional emergency medical services. Our advisory services are beneficial during all phases of the AED program lifecycle.


If you’re thinking about implementing an AED program, or have made the decision to proceed but are unsure what steps to take, we can help. AED Risk Insights can advise you about the benefits and risks of AED programs as well as how to implement your program in a way that increases its likelihood of success and decreases associated risk.
