“When Minutes Matter”

Richard Price, Founder/President, PulsePoint Foundation

How PulsePoint WorksPulsePoint connects to the local 9-1-1 system and

alerts CPR-trained citizens to someone nearby having

a Sudden Cardiac Arrest

PulsePoint further directs these citizen rescuers, with

a live map, to the nearest publicly available

defibrillator (AED)
