On World Heart Day in 2017, Pune-based Jeevtronics launched their hand-cranked defibrillator, which can save cardiac arrest patients when there is no electricity. This low-cost device, which can be powered up in 12 seconds by rotating a small hand paddle, can be a life saver in regions where electricity is scarce. Defibrillators powered by electricity are common in airports and hospitals, but this Indian-made machine costs only a quarter of imported electric defibrillators. Defibrillator charge/discharge cycle standards require a device to last 2,500 shocks. Though rigorous testing, the Jeevtronics device has surpassed 16,000 shocks.
