PulsePoint

PulsePoint is a 911-connected mobile app that allows users to view and receive live alerts of calls being responded to by fire departments and emergency medical services. The app aims to have bystanders trained in CPR help cardiac arrest victims before emergency crews arrive, which can increase their chance of survival. The app interfaces with the local government public safety answering point, and notifies nearby users of incidents in public spaces. In February 2017, PulsePoint introduced Professional Responder, a professional-tier version that alerts agency personnel to CPR-needed emergencies in residential settings while off duty, in addition to providing features for on-duty use. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, PulsePoint is run by a public 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation of the same name. As of August 2026, the foundation reported that connected agencies had requested the assistance of 1,395,000 nearby responders for 393,215 cardiac arrest events.
