When a cardiac emergency strikes, finding an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can help save a life. But that takes knowing where AEDs are located. PulsePoint AED lets you report and update AED locations so that emergency responders – nearby citizens trained in CPR or local firefighters, police or medics -- can find an AED close to them when a cardiac emergency occurs.
You and PulsePoint AED can help strengthen the chain of survival for cardiac arrest victims. Download PulsePoint AED for free and use it to report AED locations wherever you see one. Snap a picture, make some quick notes, and the information is stored for local authorities to verify. After that, the AED location data is made available to anyone using the PulsePoint citizen responder app (also available for free in the App Store). PulsePoint Respond is the app that alerts citizen responders who know CPR to local emergencies near them and also to the location of the nearest AED.
Not only do all validated AED’s become visible in the PulsePoint Respond app, all collected AED information is provided to the local emergency communications center for instant display on dispatcher consoles during calls for assistance. This allows the dispatchers to direct callers to nearby public AEDs when necessary.
PulsePoint AED is a great way to crowd-source lifesaving information. Users of PulsePoint Respond and subscribing local emergency responders all get updated information about the AEDs in their communities. With PulsePoint AED and PulsePoint Respond, citizens, responders, and care providers can work together in their communities to help victims in a cardiac emergency.
PulsePoint AED and PulsePoint Respond are produced by the PulsePoint Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to empowering everyday citizens to provide lifesaving assistance to victims of Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Engineering for the applications is provided by skilled volunteers from Workday, Inc. and are marketed and implemented by Physio-Control, Inc. makers of Lifesaving Tools for Lifesaving Teams since 1955.

Delays

Something seems to have changed with this app. I am experiencing delays in the reporting of the radio calls to my local area. As an example, if an RA is dispatched and I can physically see the ambulance near me, often times I am not able to see it listed on my screen.
Great idea, poor execution

As a healthcare professional I’d very much like to be able to quickly find AEDs in public. Unfortunately I’ve had this app for a couple of years and there are no public AEDs listed in the app. A bit useless. Deleting app.

Very simple design. Thanks for update. I added one AED but looking for more.Great App
Please add the Add photo from photo library rather than taking a photo within the app only.

Would like to add a photo from my library but cannot as the app seems to only accept photos taken from within the app.
A review!? Seriously?

Can you wait to ask for a review until after I find my life saving device?
Need more locations identified!

I am a ALS Certified first responder. I’ve been on the site for over a year and it seems the following in some regions is terrific and other regions nonexistent. In New York State for example where I live, very few AED‘s are identified. In my immediate neighborhood I know of for dinner closer to my home then any that show up on the site. This is too good an idea to not succeed. You need either a legislative advantage or more word-of-mouth &marketing campaign (digital) to get the word out and more AED’s identified Good luck, I’ll be watching.
Not as good as it sounds

I thought AED locations would be listed. I live down the road from the ambulance but no AED was listed near me. I tried to input them but I was not able to do it.
