The PulsePoint app allows CPR-trained individuals to receive an alert from PulsePoint Respond, and it tells them where a cardiac arrest event is happening and where they can find the nearest AED.
The PulsePoint AED app can allow citizens to receive help before a life is in danger by easily identifying AEDs throughout the community. Users can also place the AED location on a map, add business and descriptor information and submit photos of the AED in the context of its surroundings.
