A brilliant new CPR app called PulsePoint is going to change emergency rescue.
The app alerts phone users within a quarter of a mile when someone has suffered a possible heart attack. It also shows the exact locations of any automated external defibrillators.
The Ohio fire department teamed up with a local hospital to integrate the software into the city’s emergency dispatch system.
Once an emergency call is received, any phone user with the app installed will be alerted. Their goal is to get CPR going as quickly as possible to increase the chances of survival.
