Presentation transcript:

The PulsePoint app is a revolutionary pre- arrival solution designed to support public safety agencies working to improve cardiac arrest survival rates through improved bystander performance. The purpose of the app is to reduce collapse-to-CPR and collapse-to- defibrillation times by simultaneously dispatching nearby CPR-trained citizens to those in need of CPR, along with detailed public AED location information.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for an estimated 350,000 deaths each year. Delivery of CPR is life-saving first aid that can sustain life until advanced care can arrive by helping to maintain vital blood flow to the heart and brain. Only about one quarter of SCA victims receive bystander CPR. Chances for survival decrease 10% each minute resuscitation is delayed. Why is PulsePoint Needed?

Publicly available AEDs are rarely retrieved and used because bystanders generally cannot see them and have no way to know if one is even available nearby. Statistics provided by the CARES (Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival) Registry indicate that publicly available AEDs are used less than 3% of the time when needed and available. As a result, SCA victims are dying at locations at or near publicly placed AEDs. AEDs are now widely available in public places such as schools, airports and workplaces. Why is PulsePoint Needed?

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. How can PulsePoint make a difference?

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 the nearest AED. The app is automatically activated by the local public safety communications center simultaneous with the dispatch of local fire and EMS resources. What does PulsePoint do?

The mission of the foundation is to extend the reach of the app around the globe and to do that at no cost to the implementing fire or EMS agency. The PulsePoint Foundation has a talented and diverse board of directors drawn from public safety, tech, medicine and finance. It includes Dave Duffield from Workday who’s engineering team built the enterprise- class PulsePoint service for the foundation and Dr. Ben Bobrow, Medical Director for the State of Arizona who is also the Chair of the American Heart Association Basic Life Support Subcommittee. What is the PulsePoint Foundation?

The app is available for download from the Apple App Store and the Android/Google Play Marketplace. Visit the foundation website at for general news and information. for real-time app activations. Watch the Public Service Announcement at Where can I learn more about PulsePoint?
