Cardioprotección

What Cardioprotección does

Cardioprotección® (legal entity Cardio Solutions, S.A. de C.V.) is a Mexico-based, founder-operated company founded in 2009 that develops "Sitios Cardioprotegidos" (Cardioprotected Sites) for organizations, schools, and public spaces. Its core offering is an end-to-end Programa de Cardioprotección® that bundles equipment supply (Automated External Defibrillators, cabinets, CPR devices, anti-choking devices, first-aid kits, nap capsules), training, emergency protocols, ongoing management, and certification under the registered Sitio Cardioprotegido® mark. The company is an authorized American Heart Association training center and operates the CardioTrace® platform for AED registry and real-time location mapping, alongside the Cardiorent® equipment rental service and the Cardioshop® e-commerce storefront.

The business generates revenue across multiple streams: one-time equipment sales, recurring equipment rentals, professional services for program implementation and certification, AHA-certified training courses (BLS, ACLS, PALS), technical service/maintenance, and direct e-commerce sales. The go-to-market is sales-led through direct field/enterprise sales in three regional offices (Mexico City headquarters, Guadalajara, Monterrey) supported by a national phone line, quote-based and customized pricing, and content marketing via a blog, social channels, and earned media. The company has a notable anchor customer relationship with TEC de Monterrey (multi-campus implementation jointly developed with TECMed Center) and runs the "Mi escuela es un Sitio Cardioprotegido" initiative to extend the certification model into K-12 and higher education.

Technically, the business is services- and distribution-led rather than software-led: CardioTrace is a registry and mapping platform, the company holds no public APIs, no disclosed AI/ML components, and operates primarily on commercial and training delivery rather than data or platform economics. Six registered trademarks (Cardioprotección®, Sitio Cardioprotegido®, CardioTrace®, Cardiorent®, Cardioshop®, Boletín 150J®) and a medical-society alliance network (ANCAM, Mexican Resuscitation Committee, Mexican Society of Cardiology, FIC México) constitute the principal defensive assets.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Grupo RPH (Respirar / Hospitalar): Latin American medical equipment distributor and service provider. Comparable to Cardioprotección as a regional distributor and servicer of medical/safety equipment within Spanish-speaking markets, though not specifically focused on AED programs.

Emerging players

• A.M.I. Italia (AED Italia): European AED manufacturer with growing international presence. Comparable as a potential supplier of AED hardware to program integrators like Cardioprotección and as an emerging competitive entrant in the public-access defibrillation category.

Broad incumbents

• Defibtech: US-based AED manufacturer (Lifeline and ReviveR lines) supplying the same class of automated external defibrillators Cardioprotección distributes. Relevant peer via shared hardware category and shared end-customer base.
• BIOTRONIK: Global cardiac device company (pacemakers, ICDs, CRT). Comparable in cardiovascular medical-device category, although Cardioprotección focuses on external AEDs/public-access defibrillation while BIOTRONIK focuses on implantable rhythm management devices.
• ZOLL Medical: A leading global manufacturer of AEDs and resuscitation equipment. Comparable to Cardioprotección as a supplier of the same core hardware (AEDs) that the subject company distributes and integrates into cardioprotection programs.
• Philips HeartStart: Major OEM of AEDs (HeartStart line) and broader cardiology equipment. Directly comparable as a primary AED brand whose hardware the subject company resells, but operates at global incumbent scale rather than as a Mexican program integrator.
• HeartSine Technologies: Specialist AED manufacturer (samaritan PAD), now part of Stryker. Comparable as an OEM of AEDs that public-access defibrillation programs like Cardioprotección's Sitio Cardioprotegido rely on.
• Cardiac Science: AED manufacturer with Powerheart and Rescue Ready product lines. Comparable as a supplier of the core defibrillator hardware that Cardioprotección integrates into its cardioprotected-site programs.
• Stryker (LIFEPAK / HeartSine): Global medical device company offering LIFEPAK defibrillators and HeartSine AEDs. Comparable because Cardioprotección distributes AED hardware from this category and competes for the same Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) response budgets, even though Stryker is a much broader incumbent.

Others

• MediQuo: Not a direct competitor on AEDs, but a Spain/LatAm digital health player. Listed as thematically adjacent for cross-reference purposes only — its telehealth orientation is not directly comparable to Cardioprotección's hardware-led model.
