PulsePoint
Are you willing to help save a life? Meriter – UnityPoint Health, in collaboration with Dane County EMS, the Dane County 911 Center and the City of Madison Fire Department, is proud to bring PulsePoint Respond to the residents of Dane County.
PulsePoint Respond is a free smartphone app that empowers everyday citizens to provide life-saving assistance to victims of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). The app uses location-based technology to alert users when someone within their immediate area is experiencing SCA and is in need of help. The alert comes through the 911 Center the same time a call goes out to local EMS and fire agencies to all public locations.
A citizen bystander reacting quickly to a PulsePoint alert can greatly improve the chances of a victim’s survival. SCA is a leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for an estimated 1,000 deaths per day. The American Heart Association estimates that effective bystander CPR, provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest, can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.
Anyone can be an everyday hero with PulsePoint! You don’t need professional medical training or CPR certification. PulsePoint is for those who are CPR trained, which means you understand how to perform hands-only (no rescue breaths) or traditional CPR (with rescue breaths).
