This Christmas season was one we won’t forget!

A few weeks ago, we delivered our very first Elliot AEDs in person.

Eight devices placed into real homes, plus a ninth for Ezra and his family.

What made the day even more special was our COO, Michael Lemire, who truly embodied the spirit of the season.

He didn’t just show up, he went all in, dressing as Santa, leading the deliveries, and making sure every interaction felt personal, thoughtful, and meaningful.

That extra effort mattered, not just for the families receiving the devices, but for our entire team.

We documented the entire experience because moments like this matter, seeing the product we’ve worked so hard on become part of people’s lives!

As we head into Christmas, we’re feeling grateful, proud, and more motivated than ever to keep building with purpose🎄⚡️

Last week marked a major milestone for HeartHero.

We hand-delivered our first production Elliot AEDs.

Not a prototype.
Not a pilot.
Real devices, in real hands.

That alone matters. But who received them matters more.

Ezra became the first person in the world to receive a production Elliot.

For him, this is not just about emergency response. It is about independence.

Carrying his own AED! Managing it himself.

Living with more freedom and less fear.

This delivery was part of Isla’s Legacy, a mission built around access, preparedness, and peace of mind for families living with heart conditions.

Through this moment, multiple families now have something tangible and close when risk is part of daily life.

This is where we believe the industry needs to go.

AEDs should not be static, locked away, or out of reach. Life-saving technology should move with people. It should fit into real life, not just emergency plans.

Hand-delivering our first units was intentional.

It reflects how we are building HeartHero, grounded, human, and focused on impact before scale.

We are here to challenge assumptions and raise the bar for what access really means.

Others can now stop claiming “smallest and lightest and most affordable”.

Player two has entered the game and the bar has been raised…

They’re officially on their way!

In this video, you’ll see the full race view with boats scattered across the water. Keep watching as we find the Merched y Môr team making their way forward

They were cleared for departure on Sunday and have since taken off, picking up speed and currently rowing at around 2.7 knots, with winds sitting near 17 knots. 🚣‍♀️

We’ve been tracking their progress closely and love seeing the momentum build with every stroke.

For more frequent updates and real-time tracking, follow Merched y Môr

We’re proud to support these incredible women and are cheering them on all the way! 🗺️

Safety always comes first, on land or at sea🛟🌊

When we first connected with Denise and the Merched y Môr team, the alignment was instant. Their strength, purpose, and mission made it an immediate yes for us at HeartHero! From that first conversation, we knew we wanted to support them in every way we could.

With the World's Toughest Row start being postponed due to the yellow weather warning in La Gomera, we fully support the decision. Conditions like these remind us why preparedness and safety matter, especially for teams taking on a challenge this demanding.

The race may be delayed, but our partnership and excitement have not changed. 🤝

We’re standing right alongside the Merched Y Môr women as they wait for a safe departure window, and we’ll be cheering them on every step of the way once they’re cleared to launch.

Some moments require patience, and this is one of them. When the weather allows, they’ll be more than ready, and so will we.

We are less than two days away from our departure from La Gomera!

We just wanted to give a huge thanks to all of our sponsors including our 250 club!

There is something special about watching a team step into an adventure with this much excitement and purpose!

The Merched y Môr crew is only one week away from taking on the World’s Toughest Row, a 3,000 mile journey across the Atlantic 🌊

Their energy is contagious, and their commitment to their cause makes this moment even more meaningful.

We are proud to support them and proud that Elliot will be part of this journey. This is what preparation, teamwork, and determination look like.

Track their progress through the YB Races app under the World’s Toughest Row. We will be sure to share updates throughout their race! 👩🏼‍💻

T-Minus one week to go! ⏱️

The order is in!!!
Thank you all so much for all your support in this year’s campaign. There have been donations from all around the world and some incredibly kind-hearted offline donations. I’m so grateful for all your generosity and everyone who gave what they were able to and shared it to help.
With all the money raised I have ordered 8 HeartHero Elliot defibs! Eight!
I will now be liaising with hospital teams and the Long QT Community to get them into the hands and homes of families to give them the peace of mind of having their own super portable, lightweight, life saving AED.
Isla’s birthday and Christmas is always a hard time for me and although I’ll always buy her a present and include her; knowing that you all do too means more than you will ever know ❤️

Keep your eyes peeled for the next exciting update 🤩 Something extra special happening on the 12th and then Isla’s birthday on the 19th.

(Repost because I aged her a year 😓🤣 I was brainstorming ideas for next year this morning 🙈)

Elliot is crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

And it’s joining Merched y Môr, an all-female crew taking on a brutal 3,000-mile row from La Gomera to Antigua.

No engine. No comfort. No easy way out.
Just strength, grit, and pure determination.

Their race kicks off December 12, launching them into one of the toughest endurance tests on the planet.

Over the following 5 to 8 weeks, they’ll face:
🌊 towering waves
🌩️ unpredictable weather
🛶 nonstop rowing
and short, broken sleep cycles.

Out there, the ocean doesn’t care how tired you are.

You push or you fall behind.
You endure or you quit.
And this crew does not quit.

This partnership didn’t start with a sponsorship request.
It started with a warning.

Two years ago, a competitor in this race lost their life in the middle of the Atlantic. When you’re out there, help takes days, not minutes.

Merched Y Môr came to us with a mission that hit hard:

“This device could save a life.
Let us take Elliot across the ocean and prove it.”

That’s the kind of purpose we stand behind.
That’s the kind of team we back.

We’re proud to be the AED trusted to go the full distance with them 💪

And as they take on the Atlantic, we’ll be cheering them on, posting race highlights, and sharing updates that highlight their dedication and the incredible demands of rowing across one of the most extreme environments on earth.

Now we want you with us. Support their mission.
Help amplify their message. Back the women who are rowing for something bigger than themselves.

Grit. Purpose. Zero fear. We’ll see you at the starting line.

You hit purchase. We hit the manufacturing floor. Here’s the truth behind it.⤵️

Most, if not all, companies never show how their products are actually made.

And honestly, here is why.

They keep everything private.

❌They avoid showing their people or their process.
🙅They worry about criticism or questions.
😵They do not want anyone to see timelines or delays.
And it takes extra effort, so most never bother.

Some brands prefer the mystery.

And many simply stick to the polished final product because it feels “safer.”

They think it looks cleaner.
We think it feels less human.

HeartHero does things differently.❤️

We believe people deserve to see the real story.

The human effort behind every device.
The hands building Elliot.
The testing.
The care.

We share how Elliot is made because transparency matters to us. Connection matters to us!

You deserve FULL transparency from the very beginning.

And if someone is trusting us with a life saving device, they deserve to see the real work behind it.

Want to see what happens before Elliot gets delivered to you? Here it is.

Day 2 is packed and we are only halfway through the day!

We have had a steady stream of people wanting to see Elliot and hear how we are working to make AEDs easier to use and more accessible.

Our HeartHero hats and socks have been a hit and they are almost gone! 💥We love seeing people repping Hank around the Startup Park. If you are at MEDICA, stop by Hall 12 D19 and meet the team

🎤 And make sure to catch James Russell on Thursday, November 20 at 11:15 AM in the session, Mobile Health: Transforming Healthcare Delivery with Mobile Solutions.

Big momentum. Big conversations. Big mission.

See you on the show floor! 💥
