Description

Help build the most comprehensive registry of AEDs for use during emergencies.

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 Google Play 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.

I have an AED in my home, but when I clicked on the locate button it couldn't find one within 4 miles. I don't think this is very reliable considering that there are 3 gyms, 4 urgent care and 2 major hospitals within 4 miles of my location.

Impressive database Always know where the nearest AED is. Share with others so they can save you too.

Standing over the AED in my gym. The app said NO AED in this location.

January 14, 2017

Great concept! I like the concept, but there are no AEDs registered with this app in my area.

John Lindsey July 19, 2016

Save a life. Download save a life its that simple.

Addresses are a bit buggy, but otherwise an awesome idea.

Mark Bezley December 4, 2016

Good knowledge Helps being able to find where AD's are located in relation to a CPR event.

Jacquelyn LaRonde February 11, 2017

A must-have resource for all first aid persons

Mary Nelson April 3, 2017

Just to know where they are located is help to me for I have many senior friends.

Samsung glitch remains I cannot take pictures despite claims the samsung bug was fixed. Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 5.0.1

What square livi Enjoying everythings, but it was a great time to get a free shopping resource for the orientation roomssssss.

James Taylor June 29, 2016

Meh Crowd sourcing AED locations seems to be a chancy business.

Kendall Lee April 11, 2016

Love the concept, app needs a bit of work I absolutely love the idea of both this app and the Pulsepoint Respond app. However, I've had recurring issues of the app crashing, particularly when I'm trying to add photos to an AED entry. Additionally, I know you can mark an AED as "missing," but there's an AED entry in a blatantly wrong position...is there any way to get it removed so that there is no confusion during an actual emergency? Thanks for helping to make AEDs more accessible!!

Nearly perfect.. - Has integration and a share feature with Twitter so you can bring multiple identities to application use (store investigations, risk protection). - A user would have to be proficient at design, creative writing, security, establishing trusted relationships with police, Intelligence and Laughing Like Crazy (MDAO) to create the ultimate Red Cross (or whatevr the vendor of defibs) sales tool. - Add CrossFit to the mix with multi-city transportation by city buses and memberships to 24 hour gyms and you have the recipe to become the next @Schwarzenegger. - Sleep at area homeless shelters to improve availability of device in your local city, or hotels (defibs on every floor) to blow this game out of the water.

Sorry, but we're very confused by your review.

Big Tony lastnamehere May 10, 2016

Thanks for all your efforts in making such a polished app capable of aiding the of saving lives.

Nathan Mann April 23, 2016

Good Was able to add one.

John McLeod VII November 2, 2015

Good app. Short on reported locations The app starts quickly, and shows the reported locations on a map quickly. It does require people to add AED locations. I have added 2 so far, and intend to add as many as I find.

David Brock December 16, 2015

Great idea! Nice implementation. I take it that 'private' Accessibility means it is behind a door that one must ask to enter and then ask to use the AED. Not sure what 'Type' selection means. the choices are Crowd and Production.

Alicia Ivie October 30, 2015

Doesn't find my location. Very frustrating.

Julie Burgess September 24, 2015

Thought it might show that all Casinos have AEDs and I'm pretty sure most schools...I may be wrong!!

PulsePoint Foundation September 28, 2015

Julie- This is a crowd sourcing app. The AED app is for volunteers (like you) to identify and add AEDs to our repository. These added AEDs will then appear in our Respond app to direct CPR responders to the nearest AED. We would love if you collect some of those casino and school AEDs!

Stephen Fulton January 29, 2016

Does not show my location.

Mike Jacob January 7, 2016

AED Locator Find an AED near you.

Stephanie Calvo September 23, 2015

Love it Better then Google map. Lol. No Seriously. ! Locating an AED is almost a secondary issue. Tho Seriously nice to have in an Emergency. User friendly easy-to-use job well done

Patricia Drennan February 19, 2015

No directions Why do I get a location of an AED but no directions.it's at a fire station, if you are driving and need help directions to the nearest fire station would be great anyway

PulsePoint Foundation May 21, 2015

Patricia- The AED app is not used to direct you to an AED, but for volunteers (like you) to identify and add AEDs to our repository. These added AEDs will then appear in our Respond app to direct CPR responders to the nearest AED.

AED This will definitely save lives ~ keep sharing it!
