You can save lives

Denmark has achieved a fourfold increase in bystander CPR and survival rates for cardiac arrest victims, thanks to key initiatives supported by TrygFonden. 

Through extensive research, awareness campaigns, nationwide systems, and community programs such as the AED network and Heart Runner program, we empower people in Denmark to take action and help save lives.

The AED network

The Danish AED Network was launched to encourage Danes to register their AEDs, making them accessible and visible to everyone. The network is integrated with the Danish Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Dispatch Centers, enabling them to direct first responders to the nearest AED.

The AED Network also plays a vital role in TrygFonden's Heart Runner program, guiding volunteer responders to the closest AED when alerted to a nearby cardiac arrest. Learn more about the Heart Runner program below.

Heart runners are notified through the TrygFonden Hjerteløber app when someone nearby experiences a cardiac arrest, so they can step in and make a difference. Watch how the Heart Runner program works in the video.
