What Aidency does
Aidency AS is a Norwegian medical device company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Ålesund, Norway, that develops the Aidency 113KIT®, a CE-marked (MDR Class I) electronic medication case connected to Norway's 113 emergency medical dispatch center (AMK). The 113KIT contains pre-dosed, single-unit medications for acute conditions including chest pain (acetylsalicylic acid, nitroglycerin), severe allergic reactions (epinephrine auto-injectors), acute breathing problems (salbutamol), diabetic hypoglycemia (glucagon), opioid overdose (naloxone), and bleeding/trauma, along with non-invasive diagnostic tools (pulse oximeter, blood glucose meter). Only AMK healthcare personnel can remotely unlock the device via secure connectivity, enabling trained lay responders at emergency scenes to administer life-saving medication under real-time medical guidance during the critical gap before ambulance arrival (average 10.5 minutes urban, 15.8 minutes rural in Norway).
The company's go-to-market is structured around pilot projects with Norwegian healthcare trusts (helseforetak) and AMK dispatch centers. Aidency's primary strategic partner is Helse Møre og Romsdal HF, which signed a formal development agreement in 2022, with Sykehuset i Vestfold HF joining as a second pilot partner in 2025. Seven 113KIT units were deployed across Møre og Romsdal and Vestfold/Telemark counties by mid-2025, used by trained responders from Røde Kors Hjelpekorps, Redningsselskapet, fire services, and industrial sites including Torp Sandefjord Lufthavn, Ineos Rafnes, and Noah Solutions. The solution includes full lifecycle management: Aidency handles medication restocking, destruction of expired or used medications, and device maintenance.
Aidency's revenue model is subscription-based and planned for commercial launch targeting businesses and organizations across Norway; the device cannot be purchased outright due to prescription medication content and ongoing maintenance requirements. The subscription bundles the physical device, medication supplies, monitoring, and lifecycle services under multi-year contracts. The company currently operates with 1-10 employees under founder-dominant ownership, with Trond T. Lauritsen transitioning from CEO to board member and largest shareholder in January 2026, and Marta Hauge taking over as CEO to lead commercial scale-up.

Products and services
- Aidency 113KIT CE-marked (MDR Class I) electronic medication kit connected to Norway's 113 (AMK) emergency dispatch centers. Contains pre-dosed medications for chest pain (acetylsalicylic acid, nitroglycerin), severe allergy (adrenaline auto-injector), acute breathing problems (salbutamol, plus pulse oximeter), hypoglycemia (blood glucose meter and glucagon), opioid overdose (naloxone), and severe bleeding (pressure bandage and rescue blanket). The kit can only be remotely unlocked by AMK healthcare personnel, who guide trained lay responders (volunteer first-aid organizations, fire services, workplace responders) by phone/video while waiting for the ambulance. Includes temperature, movement and tamper monitoring, real-time unit location visibility for AMK, and full lifecycle management (medication restocking, destruction of expired/used drugs, device maintenance). Target customers are Norwegian businesses and organizations, delivered as a multi-year subscription (not available for outright purchase due to prescription-medication content).
Quantifiable outcome
- In pilot (May-July 2025), 113KIT was evaluated as appropriate in 16 acute events covering serious illness, overdose, chest pain, and allergic reactions across multiple municipalities.

Aidency competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Hero Health (smart medication dispenser): Hero Health is a smart in-home medication dispenser with subscription model and lifecycle management—sharing Aidency's subscription-plus-lifecycle-management approach to medication access, though focused on chronic adherence rather than acute emergency response.
- RapidSOS: RapidSOS provides a data platform that connects emergency callers, IoT devices, and emergency response centers (similar to 911/AMK). It is comparable to Aidency as an enabling technology layer for smarter emergency response, although RapidSOS does not sell a medication delivery device.
- Avive Solutions: Avive is an emerging player building a connected AED platform with cellular connectivity and a software-enabled response network. Like Aidency, Avive combines a hardware device for lay responder use with remote/connected guidance from emergency professionals, making it a strong comparable for the connected-emergency-device thesis.
- PulsePoint: PulsePoint operates a mobile app and platform that crowdsources nearby CPR/AED-equipped responders during cardiac emergencies. It shares Aidency's underlying thesis of using technology to reduce time-to-treatment by engaging lay responders before ambulances arrive, though it is software-only and not a hardware device vendor.
Broad incumbents
- Cederroth (First Aid & Emergency Preparedness): Cederroth is an established Nordic first aid and emergency preparedness supplier offering pre-positioned kits for workplaces, public spaces, and responders. As a regional incumbent in pre-positioned emergency equipment in the Nordics, it is a relevant comparable for Aidency's industrial and organizational subscription go-to-market.
- ZOLL Medical: ZOLL is a leading emergency care medical device company offering AEDs, defibrillators, and resuscitation technology. ZOLL's pre-positioned AEDs for lay responder use are structurally analogous to Aidency's 113KIT concept of pre-positioned emergency equipment for lay use, although 113KIT expands beyond cardiac arrest to a broader set of acute conditions.
- Philips (HeartStart/Home AED business): Philips is a broad incumbent medical device company whose HeartStart line of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) shares Aidency's core model: pre-positioned emergency medical equipment designed for use by lay responders before professional help arrives. AEDs and 113KIT both target the time gap between onset and ambulance arrival, addressing acute cardiac events in public/non-clinical settings.
- Stryker (Emergency Care / AED): Stryker's emergency care division (including the LifePak and AED product lines) competes with Philips and ZOLL in pre-positioned emergency cardiac equipment. As a broad incumbent serving similar customers (first responders, hospitals, public access programs), it provides a relevant scaling benchmark for how an emergency-device subscription/service business can grow.
Direct peers
- Defibtech: Defibtech designs and manufactures AEDs (Lifeline and ReviveR lines) targeted at schools, workplaces, and first responders—closely mirroring Aidency's positioning of 113KIT for first aid volunteers, fire services, industrial sites, and airports in Norway.
- Cardiac Science: Cardiac Science manufactures Powerheart AEDs and related emergency cardiac care devices. As an AED-focused vendor serving the same pre-positioned, lay-responder use case as Aidency's 113KIT, it is a direct comparable in product category and target environment (public-access emergency preparedness).
