Download PulsePoint Mobile App to Help Save Lives
Gallatin County 911 and the Fire Departments within Gallatin County, including Bozeman Fire, announced the launch of PulsePoint today, a mobile phone application designed to support public safety agencies by increasing cardiac arrest survival rates through improved bystander performance and active resident support.
Gallatin County’s 911 dispatch center has formally integrated the use of the PulsePoint application with the 911 computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system. When a 911 dispatcher receives and identifies a call related to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), the information on the CAD system will automatically trigger a PulsePoint application push notification.
Anyone with the app who is located within a 0.25 mile radius of the incident can receive a push notification to the location of the closest publicly accessible automated external defibrillator (AED) to render aid.
The PulsePoint app is available for download on Google Play and the iPhone App Store.
