The Pulse Point Emergency Alert is sent out in real time to everyone registered with the Pulse Point app within half a kilometre when a person is suffering a cardiac event. Those close by and available can make their way to the scene before first responders get there and initiate CPR to help save a life.
Following Chief Clark speaking about how the Pulse Point started as a vision to increase survival rate of cardiac patients by making a difference when second and minutes count, Dr. Livingstone representing Ontario Tech described how so many people came together to make the app come alive.
Dr. Randy Wax chief of staff at Lakeridge Hospital spoke on how your involvement is very vital. The need to not only get the app but also the CPR training. The training is not that hard to do but doing it makes all the difference!
