Three alumni stop by the lab to tell the story of how they took a class assignment at 2am, developed it into their senior capstone project, and ultimately founded a medical device company that, six years later, received Class III Premarket Approval from the FDA. Avive is the youngest team to receive such a PMA and their founders were selected for the 2024 Forbes 30 Under 30.
Their Automated External Defibrillator, the Avive Connect AED, is the first major innovation in the space for decades, and will, no doubt, save lives.
