RapidSOS and the PulsePoint Foundation Partner to Connect 911 Directly to the Nation's Registry of Life-Saving Emergency Resources

New Integration Gives 911 Telecommunicators Real-Time Access to Registered AEDs, Naloxone, Epinephrine, and Bleeding-Control Kits

RapidSOS, the leading public safety AI company, today announced a new integration with the PulsePoint Foundation, which hosts and administers the National Emergency AED + Resource (NEAR) Registry. The integration connects RapidSOS directly to the NEAR Registry's database of AEDs, naloxone (Narcan), epinephrine, and bleeding-control kits, giving 911 telecommunicators immediate access to public-safety vetted life-saving resources during an emergency. Telecommunicators can use this information to direct callers to the appropriate resources—without leaving their existing workflow.

The integration is live today across RapidSOS, including its free tier, and is available to any Emergency Communications Center (ECC) nationwide at no additional cost. Georgia is the latest state to deploy it at scale, driven by the Mason Sells AED Coordination Act (SB399), which requires 911 to have access to an AED registry. The NEAR Registry is the national standard meeting that requirement.

PulsePoint and ZOLL Accelerate Growth of National Emergency AED Registry, Helping More Communities Locate and Use Devices When Seconds Count

‘Anyone Can Register’ mobilizes volunteers and AED stakeholders to add community devices nationwide, building a comprehensive, validated registry

The PulsePoint Foundation and ZOLL®, an Asahi Kasei company that manufactures medical devices and related software solutions, including automated external defibrillators (AEDs), announces a new initiative, Anyone Can Register.

The program will rally volunteers, AED owners, and AED manufacturers to expand NEAR so AED locations nationwide are known and recommended during cardiac emergencies. Launching in February 2026 during American Heart Month, the initiative is part of ZOLL’s national Anything Can Happen. Anyone Can Help.™ campaign, which works to close the gap between CPR awareness and action by showing that AEDs do more than deliver a shock. They guide bystanders with step-by-step CPR instructions and can help improve outcomes for cardiac arrest patients.
