David Fredman

Co-founder and operations manager for the Heartrunner system, a well researched supply and demand system with a life-saving track record. I have a background as a Registered Nurse working in cardiology and in May 2018 I successfully defended my Ph.D thesis on optimal installation of AED and logistics to increase their use. Link to thesis: https://openarchive.ki.se/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10616/46316/Thesis_David_Fredman.pdf?sequence=3&isAllowed=y I've brought Heartrunner from a small startup to a successful company with a lifesaving system that makes real impact. I have covered almost all bases in the process from 2016 until today. From agile project managing, grants writing, tender processes to pitching to investors. But also supporting volunteer responders, understanding user and customer needs and channeling this in to an ever changing product that affects peoples lives every day and also are shaping the future of resuscitation guidelines. I'm native in Swedish and I read, write and understand English at an advanced level. I understand Danish and Norwegian well. I’m a member of the Swedish resuscitation council, primarily in a workgroup for increasing use of AEDs in society and in 2009 I was responsible for setting up the Swedish AED Registry. I am a former member of the center for resuscitation sciences at Karolinska Institutet and still try to expand my network of researchers by occasionally still accepting review requests from journals and support several research projects with data and experience. Contact me for inquiries and see if we can change the outcome of out of hospital cardiac arrest together using the Heartrunner platform, or if we can find other areas of interest to explore.
