Episode 46: Life Saving Innovation with PulsePoint

About this episode

The episode discusses the PulsePoint app and its role in improving CPR response times in emergencies.

The Lee's Summit Fire Department discusses PulsePoint, a free 911-connected mobile app that alerts citizens trained in CPR when it is needed nearby in a public location. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time. PulsePoint empowers CPR-trained citizens to help improve patient outcomes and save lives by initiating CPR earlier and increasing the use of automated external defibrillators (AED) before emergency responders arrive on the scene.
