IntiMagz - When someone suffers cardiac arrest, early CPR can improve the chances of survival. The longer it takes to receive help, the less likely it is a victim will make it to the hospital. The PulsePoint Respond app aims to cut down on the deaths caused by out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by crowdsourcing CPR assistance.
Through PulsePoint, volunteers with CPR training can sign up to learn when a cardiac arrest occurs in their vicinity so they can help. When an emergency responder receives a call and recognizes a cardiac arrest, they alert both EMS and the PulsePoint volunteer base. GPS technology scans for nearby volunteers, alerts them to the location of the incident, and provides directions for how to get there.
You can also help through the PulsePoint AED app, which lets users report and update the locations of Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) devices. When you record the location of a public access AED, the information is verified by officials and made available to PulsePoint Respond users so they can more easily find an AED in an emergency.
PulsePoint is available in 1,300 cities throughout 22 US states. It can be downloaded on iOS and Android.
