Goldspike

Goldspike is an initiative focused on improving survival rates from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest through a project called Symbiotic Care. It proposes using quad-delivered automated external defibrillators (AEDs) combined with guided CPR through Meta Glasses to begin resuscitation within minutes of a collapse. The goal is to deliver care before emergency medical services arrive, operating within a 6–8 minute window design target.

The website includes an interactive calculator that estimates survival probability and expected cost savings for different response pathways. Users can compare 911-only responses with scenarios involving bystander CPR, nearby AEDs, and quad-delivered AEDs with glasses-based guidance. This tool allows users to pick a pathway and move the clock to see the impact on survival rates.

The Symbiotic design target is continuous care from first awareness through first responder handoff, all inside one hour. The process begins with first awareness at 0–1 minute, followed by compressions starting at 1–2 minutes, and AED on scene by 3–5 minutes. The final stage involves EMS joining an already-active resuscitation at 5–10 minutes.

The website states that survival falls roughly 10% for every minute without defibrillation. At a 6-minute response, the survival to discharge rate is estimated at 30% versus 5.3× uplift over passive waiting. The expected value saved at this pathway and time is $403K per arrest.

The technology stack includes Meta Glasses, in-ear audio instruction, and a delivered iPhone that opens a live channel to the Persistent Agentic Emergency Physician 1.0. This setup is described as a human-command interface rather than the cure itself, with the AED serving as the electrical hammer.

The bystander becomes the temporary organ of the emergency system, providing eyes, ears, hands, memory, courage, and compression. The project emphasizes that guided CPR alone can roughly double survival-relevant functional capacity versus passive 911 waiting. Early AED use lifts this capacity to about 4×.

The AED is delivered before the ambulance, sealed in a Safe + PPE payload. The quad-delivered AED + iPhone arrives at the scene faster than an ambulance. This approach aims to reshape which age cohorts survive an arrest by reaching them in time.

The website mentions that the interaction capacity involves Meta Glasses, in-ear audio, and the delivered iPhone opening a live channel. This system has been human-approved across 100 looping deployments according to the site.

The project frames its work around a 6–8 minute window design target. This narrow time frame is critical because the Symbiotic design target requires continuous care from first awareness through first responder handoff.

The website notes that functional survival capacity gain is measured as a multiplier vs. passive 911 waiting at a 6-minute response. The best scenario reaches 5–7× in witnessed shockable cases, though these are planning estimates.

The website mentions that the AED is still the electrical hammer and CPR keeps blood moving until the shock arrives. This distinction is made to clarify the roles of different components in the resuscitation process.
