PulsePoint app review: view local medical emergencies in real time 2021

Reviews

Introduction

PulsePoint is a very interesting safety app which is designed to empower ordinary people such as you and I with the ability to track medical emergencies as they happen and provide real-time medical assistance to people in our local area who are currently suffering from cardiac arrest.

If you’re trained in CPR then I would definitely suggest downloading this medical emergency app and keeping it handy on your iPhone because you can set it up to notify you with an alert whenever someone needs help in your local area.

This definitely sounds like a worthy cause to me, and the good safety app for iPhone is very professionally developed so I would please urge you to keep reading our Pulsepoint app review to see why you should really consider downloading this app.

The tagline for this app is “Enabling Citizen Superheroes,” and that is pretty much what you’ll become if you keep PulsePoint on your iPhone!

When you first start using this app, you’ll want to search in the Agencies section. This can be done either by agency, city, or zip code, and will enable you to find medical emergency services in your area so that you can receive notifications and information relevant to your actual location.

Selecting an agency will provide you with information such as the area it serves and a historical profile. By tapping the Follow button in the top right-hand corner you can receive updates in real time any time there is an emergency callout made by the given agency.

I find this fascinating because you can tap onto emergencies as they appear on your feed and see where the emergency has been logged on a map.

This is incredible if you think about it because it means that you could potentially save lives while going about your daily business, simply by being in the right place at the right time!

Besides this, there is also a CPR How-To section which contains a detailed step-by-step guide for effectively performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a victim of cardiac arrest.

This means that even if you’re not professionally trained in CPR, you can still take the initiative and potentially become a superhero yourself.

Amazingly, you can also listen in on radio dispatch exchanges to find out more about the status of the patient.

Recent updates to this app have included an improved regional coverage with a new map-based perspective, readiness feature in the notifications tab, jurisdiction boundary, and more. Plus, the developers are constantly working on the stabilization of this app by fixing any bugs that pop up.
