   A wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is a non-invasive, external device for patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). [1] It allows physicians time to assess their patient's arrhythmic risk and see if their ejection fraction improves before determining the next steps in patient care. It is a leased device.

   The first iteration of Avive's automated external defibrillator (AED) was developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) students Rory Beyer, Moseley Andrews, and Priscilla Agosto in 2017 as a part of a senior capstone design course at the university. [3] [2] Their initial project was a defibrillator fully powered by a smartphone. [3]
