🚨New lifesaving app now available in 3 Nebraska counties 🚨
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) affects more than 350,000 people outside hospitals each year and remains a leading cause of death in the U.S. While survival rates are below 10%, immediate CPR can significantly improve outcomes.
PulsePoint is a free app available in Nebraska's Douglas, Sarpy, and Washington Counties through partnerships among the American Heart Association, local fire and EMS agencies, Nebraska Medicine, and other health systems. The app alerts nearby volunteers to public cardiac emergencies requiring CPR and directs them to the closest Automated External Defibrillator (AED) while emergency responders are en route.
The companion app, PulsePoint AED, allows users to report and update AED locations, helping build a community-wide registry that supports both dispatchers and the public during cardiac emergencies.
Both apps are available for free on the App Store and Google Play.
