About this app

With First in place, you as a healthcare employee in the Uppsala Region can be involved and contribute to increasing the chances of survival in the event of sudden cardiac arrest.
In the event of a sudden cardiac arrest, every minute counts. Early treatment with cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation can significantly increase the chance of survival.
If you have downloaded the app and are in the vicinity of a cardiac arrest, you will receive an alarm in the app. You can either run to the victim immediately and start cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or first pick up the nearest defibrillator and then take you to the patient to be able to give a defibrillation as quickly as possible.
The app gives you clear instructions on what to do and navigation to find the right one.
Alarms go out around the clock in the app, but you can specify when you want to be available and be able to receive alarms.
The app uses the phone's GPS to track where it is in order to determine if you are close enough to a cardiac arrest to receive an alarm. You therefore need to always allow the app's location permission to be able to receive alarms.
The service is run by the Ambulance Service in the Uppsala Region on behalf of the Committee for Health and Medical Care in the Uppsala Region.
