One of the greatest challenges of a PulsePoint
implementation is the lack of local AED location
information. This can be a significant hurdle to
overcome – especially in very large systems.
Introducing
PulsePoint AEDPulsePoint AED is a companion app that allows
members of the community to help build and maintain a
local AED registry for use with the PulsePoint app and
local dispatch center.
When a citizen or agency member sees an AED they can
use PulsePoint AED to check if the AED is already in the
local registry. If it isn’t, they can add it on the spot.
PulsePoint AED builds awareness of AEDs and their
locations throughout the community.
