Sudden Cardiac Arrest More than 1,000 people a day die from Sudden Cardiac in the U.S. 1 Worldwide millions die annually 2 Many of these deaths occur needlessly

PulsePoint Foundation Increase Sudden Cardiac Arrest survival rates in a massive way worldwide – Bystander CPR is a critical link in the chain of survival. It has been shown to more than double a victim’s chance of surviving a cardiac arrest 1 – Using an automated external defibrillator (AED) in addition to performing bystander CPR further improves the chances of survival 2 – Replace “good luck” with groundbreaking technology and a true paradigm shift to citizens as the first, first responder

“Time is Brain” – With every minute the chance of survival is reduced by 7-10% 1 – Within 4-6 minutes brain damage starts to occur 2 – After 10 minutes few attempts at resuscitation succeed 3

Chain of Survival According to the AHA bystander CPR is only performed 32% of the time 1 According to the CARES registry a public access AED is used only 4% of the time 2

How can PulsePoint make a difference? – Improve the frequency of bystander CPR by increasing awareness of cardiac events beyond the traditional “witnessed” area – Improve awareness and speed of public access defibrillator (AED) deployment by providing precise location information of nearby devices in real-time and in context with the rescuers location

What does PulsePoint do? – The PulsePoint mobile app alerts CPR-trained bystanders to someone nearby having a sudden cardiac arrest that may require CPR, so that CPR can begin immediately – The app directs these citizen rescuers, with a live map, to both the nearest AED and victim
