Overview
Next Generation AED Management
PulsePoint AED is a simple-to-use app that enables you to help build the public AED registry in your community – or anywhere!
When a cardiac emergency strikes, finding an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can help save a life. But that takes knowing where AEDs are located.

AEDs that are managed using PulsePoint AED are accessible to emergency dispatchers and disclosed to emergency responders, including nearby citizens trained in CPR and off-duty professionals such as firefighters, paramedics, and nurses. Instead of asking the caller if there is an AED available, dispatch center staff can inform callers of nearby lifesaving devices.
There is never a charge to use any aspect of the PulsePoint registry. PulsePoint is a public, non-profit organization providing the app and hosted AED registry for free as part of its core mission to improve cardiac arrest survival. Let’s save some lives together.
Overview
Community Partnership
HELP BUILD YOUR COMMUNITY REGISTRY
PulsePoint AED is a simple yet sophisticated tool to record and share AED location information. You can help even before a life is in danger by easily identifying public access AEDs throughout your community. Direct citizen participation can also help create greater location awareness and mindfulness of the important role AEDs play in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival.
Once AEDs are identified, their locations can be viewed by anyone using the PulsePoint AED app–or the PulsePoint Respond app–in PulsePoint connected communities.
Problems discovered with AEDs already in the registry, such as a closed business or an AED that is no longer present where shown, can easily be reported right in the app–helping to keep the registry accurate and reliable.
Watch this brief video to see just how easy it is to add an AED to the public AED registry.

If your agency serves a multilingual community, supporting the demography languages is critical for life-saving resources like AEDs.
PulsePoint AED detects the device's language settings and automatically displays information in the user's preferred language.
Overview
Cloud Management
Manage your AED registry from a single, cloud-based Admin console designed for larger screens and more complex tasks.
Although the PulsePoint AED Registry offers significant app-based management capabilities, some administrative tasks—such as filtering AED records in a spreadsheet-style grid, corresponding with site coordinators, or exporting registry data—may be better suited for the desktop.

API
Third Party Registry Interfaces

We are continually looking for new and innovative methods and partners to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the registry, and most importantly, industry collaborations that place AEDs in motion during a sudden cardiac arrest emergency.
PULSEPOINT AED REGISTRY API
The PulsePoint AED Registry API allows our partners, such as computer-aided dispatch vendors and emergency medical dispatch solution providers, to programmatically access AED information stored in the registry. While most AED registries are inaccessible to emergency telecommunicators during an emergency, the PulsePoint Registry API unlocks the lifesaving value of the registry data putting it to use when needed most.
PULSEPOINT AED READINESS API
The PulsePoint AED Registry Readiness API allows our partners, such as AED manufacturers and AED monitoring solution providers, to programmatically report readiness exemptions for devices stored in the registry. This resource proactively creates issue-specific maintenance tickets for individual AEDs typically based on unattended sensor data. These maintenance tickets, also known as Reported Issues, are surfaced within the standard administrative workflow of the registry.
PULSEPOINT AED REGISTRATION API
The PulsePoint AED Registration API allows foundation partners, such as AED manufacturers and medical direction and oversight programs, to create and update AED registry records programmatically. This allows third-party systems to efficiently report new AED installations and maintenance/inspection activities for compliance purposes and to share device locations for use during cardiac arrest events.
ProQA
Don't Ask, Inform
POWERING PROQA WITH THE EXACT LOCATION OF EVERY AED
Instead of asking the caller if there is an AED available, you can easily inform them of the closest lifesaving devices.
The PulsePoint AED registry integrates with Priority Dispatch’s ProQA Paramount allowing dispatchers to inform callers of the exact location of nearby AEDs – directly within the protocol and with no changes to workflow.
