PulsePoint android apk free download

Description:
Ver 1.0.1, for Android OS 2.2 and up


The PulsePoint app empowers users within covered communities to provide life-saving assistance to victims of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). Application users who have indicated they are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can now be notified if someone nearby is having a cardiac emergency and may require CPR. If the cardiac emergency is in a public place, the application, using sophisticated location-based services, will alert citizens in the vicinity of the need for CPR. The application also directs citizen rescuers to the exact location of the closest public access Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

The PulsePoint app (previously called “Firedepartment”) provides a virtual window into select 911 emergency communication centers worldwide. Mobile users now have real-time access to emergency activity as it is occurring.

Users are able to view active incidents–including the current response status of dispatched units and instantly pinpoint incident location on an interactive map. Curious as to where that fire engine or ambulance that just passed is headed? Is there an accident up ahead causing this traffic tie-up? Just tap the application to quickly find the incident location or plan an alternate route. A log of recent incidents and a photo gallery of significant events can also be easily accessed.

Users can choose to be notified of incidents by type when they are dispatched and listen in on live emergency radio traffic via this modern version of the traditional fire scanner.

Don’t live in a covered community? You’ll still find listening to the live action of dispatchers, firefighters and paramedics informative and interesting.

The app currently covers the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District in Northern California and additional cities and countries are on the way.

The app is absolutely free, so give it a try. Please visit www.pulsepoint.org for additional information.
