You can get an alert to help someone who is having a heart attack nearby.
You should be trained how to do CPR and use an AED. If you have training, then get the PulsePoint Respond mobile app.
How it works
When someone calls 911 for a heart emergency, dispatchers send medical help. They can also send an alert on PulsePoint to people nearby. If you have PulsePoint, it will tell you where the person is and where the nearest AEDs are.
