About PulsePoint Respond
PulsePoint empowers individuals, within covered communities, with the ability to provide life-saving assistance to victims of cardiac arrest. Application users who have indicated they are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are notified if someone nearby is having a cardiac emergency and may require CPR. If the medical emergency is in a public place, the application uses sophisticated location-based services to alert trained citizens in the immediate vicinity of the need for CPR. The application also directs these citizen rescuers to the exact location of the closest public access Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
PulsePoint currently provides coverage for hundreds of cities and communities, with many more on the way. See http://www.pulsepoint.org/pulsepoint-respond/#coverage%20map for a coverage map.
The PulsePoint app is a virtual window into these 911 communication centers and provides real-time access to emergency activity as it is occurring. Users can view incidents - including the current response status of dispatched units - and instantly pinpoint the location on an interactive map. Curious as to where that fire engine or ambulance that just passed is headed? Is there an accident up ahead causing this traffic tie-up? Just tap the application to quickly find the incident location or plan an alternate route.
Additionally, users can choose to receive incident notifications when they are dispatched and listen in on live emergency radio traffic via this modern version of the traditional fire scanner. A photo gallery of significant events along with other agency images and information can also be easily accessed.
Would you like to see PulsePoint supported in your community? All that is required on the local level is the initiative to get started. Bring PulsePoint to the attention of your local fire department, city council, or emergency response agency and tell them you would like them to see PulsePoint helping to save lives in your community.
Original development of the PulsePoint app was the result of a successful partnership between the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District (CA) and the College of Informatics at Northern Kentucky University in 2009. In 2011 the PulsePoint Foundation was formed “to share its life saving potential.” Today all engineering is provided by skilled volunteers from Workday, Inc.

Great app and easy to use! It notifies you of incidents and AEDs in your area (that are registered through this app) should you choose to respond to help save a life. It also provides directions via Google maps/GPS to get to the location of the incident(s).

Love this App BUT can you PLZ Give the "ABILITY TO SILENCE NOTIFICATIONS". Only option right now is to uncheck and NOT get a specific line item. Make it so we can either put on vibrate or silent PLEASE!!

My app isn't working right now for Los Angeles County fire department, is anyone else having the same problem? It says no incidents but that's impossible since I've seen firetrucks pass by my house a couple of times.

You have no agencies anywhere in Florida what's with that? Very Disappointing and if someone is needing aid and no one is around but me And I don't know about it and Pulsepoint had a chance to help me but I didn't get a notification and they die. Their death is on your hands.

Everyone should learn CPR and install this app. Encourage your local emergency services to adopt Pulse Point if they haven't already. It saves lives, maybe even your own someday

Fantastic app, love being able to see what's going on in the area. Only thing Is, with my city (Kingston, Ontario) the app shows the call/emergency, but it doesn't show what units are dispatched or their status (acknowledged, en route, etc) it only shows what units were dispatched after the call is over. Sure you start to learn what units are being dispatched by where it is o the map but it would be nice for the feature to work properly here. It works fine for other cities just not Kingston.
