PulsePoint Respond is an innovative mobile application that serves as a vital link to 911 emergency services.
By utilizing this app, residents are quickly alerted to emergencies occurring in their immediate community, particularly in instances where assistance is urgently needed, such as when Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is required. When you find yourself in the vicinity of a medical emergency, PulsePoint Respond can send notifications directly to your smartphone, calling upon nearby trained individuals to lend their support.
Culture of Action
• The fundamental goal of this app is to cultivate an informed and proactive community, embracing the idea of a “Culture of Action.”
• This concept is crucial for improving the Chain of Survival for individuals experiencing cardiac arrest.
• The more citizens are aware and prepared to act, the higher the chances of saving a life.
• Beyond alerts for CPR situations, users can customize their notification preferences to include significant local events that may impact their safety and that of their loved ones.
• This feature ensures residents receive timely warnings about potential dangers such as wildfires, flooding, and utility emergencies, helping them to take necessary precautions.
Engage with Local Emergency Landscape
• Furthermore, PulsePoint offers users the ability to engage with their local emergency response landscape through an interactive feature that enables them to listen to live radio dispatch traffic from emergency responders in most communities connected to the app.
• This real-time access not only fosters a greater understanding of local emergency situations but also allows residents to stay informed and engaged.
Plans for Expansions
• Currently, PulsePoint has been adopted in thousands of cities and communities across the nation, with plans for expansion to many more in the near future.
