Two new 1st-of-a-kind Life Saving Apps just launched yesterday across Durham Region. Oshawa Fire & Durham Region EMS with sponsors GM Canada & OnStar announced the @PulsePoint mobile phone app that can save lives in Durham Region. They are building a registry that can help you respond to medical emergencies using the PulsePoint RESPOND App & AED App
1. The PulsePoint RESPOND App alerts CPR-trained users when someone in a nearby public place requires CPR for a cardiac arrest. It also lets them know where to find the closest public Automated External Defibrillator (AED). If you are trained in CPR download the app and help save a life!
2. The PulsePoint AED App signals the location of Defibrillators for cardiac emergencies, Naloxone for overdoses, Epinephrine for life-threatening allergic reactions caused by insect bites, foods, and other causes. Download the app to be in the know where in the Region you can locate these lifesaving resources.
"Incredible day in Oshawa and Durham Region! @pulsepoint is a key strategy to improve out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival. Today it is up and running. You can help save a life! Please download the app! This is going to provide an opportunity for people who are willing to step in, perform CPR, or find an AED.” - Dr. Randy Wax, Critical Care Physician Lead and President of the Lakeridge Health Medical Staff Association
