PulsePoint AED is a vital application designed to create, manage, and activate an emergency Automated External Defibrillator (AED) registry. By crowdsourcing AED locations, this app helps ensure that these critical devices are quickly accessible during cardiac emergencies. When a cardiac arrest occurs, registered AEDs become visible to emergency dispatchers and can be shared with nearby individuals, potentially saving precious minutes and lives.
AEDs are essential medical tools that automatically diagnose and treat life-threatening cardiac rhythms. They are often placed in public areas such as offices, schools, airports, and businesses. PulsePoint AED allows users to contribute to public safety by submitting locations of unregistered AEDs in their communities. In addition to AEDs, the app also records and displays other emergency resources like Bleeding Control Kits, Naloxone, and Epinephrine.
For those trained in CPR and willing to assist during nearby cardiac emergencies, the companion app—PulsePoint Respond—can be downloaded to receive real-time alerts.
Public safety agencies benefit from PulsePoint’s integration with leading emergency dispatch and mapping systems, making it easier for telecommunicators to guide callers to the nearest AED during crises. The platform is offered free of charge and is FirstNet Certified, ensuring high availability, security, and reliability.
