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.

When a cardiac arrest occurs near a registered AED, subscribers to that device receive an AED-needed alert requesting they deliver the AED to the reported location.

• Industry-wide support for all AED manufacturers and models.
• Notifications are based on AED proximity to the cardiac event–no personal location sharing.
• Receive AED-needed alerts on your phone, watch, or tablet – and simultaneously across all signed-in devices.
• Are you part of a neighborhood AED program or Workplace Safety Team? Multiple participants can subscribe to a single AED.
• Critical alert support can override the Do Not Disturb setting. Time sensitive and normal alerts can be managed using focus settings.
• View street-level imagery of where the AED is needed, including an interactive 360° daytime panorama of the destination address.
• Tap an AED icon for additional details, including device/cabinet image in the context of its surroundings, full location description, and accessibility information such as access codes and business/location hours.
• Responsible parties can independently conduct testing for individual subscribers.
• Utilizes PulsePoint’s existing network of ECC system integrations.

Public safety agencies can also manage jurisdiction AED records from a hosted Admin console designed for larger screens and more complex tasks.

Although the registry offers significant app-based management capabilities, some administrative tasks may be better suited for the desktop. Learn more about our comprehensive browser-based AED management capabilities.

SIMPLE URL TO SHARE WITH YOUR COMMUNITY

In addition to using the PulsePoint AED app, community members can also report AED locations on the easy-to-remember website, aed.new. Agencies receive submitted device information for review and verification just as they do from the app.

This form can be embedded within an agency website to offer a simple alternative collection method for community members looking to report an AED.

Third-party interfaces allow dispatch system vendors, EMD protocol providers, AED manufacturers, and other partners to connect and add value to the National Emergency AED Registry (NEAR).

REGISTRY ACCESS
The NEAR Registry API allows industry partners, such as telecommunicator medical guidance systems and call handling applications, to programmatically access AED records stored in the registry. These integrations allow emergency telecommunicators to inform 911 callers of the exact location of nearby AEDs within familiar applications and workflows.

AED READINESS
The NEAR Readiness API allows industry partners, such as AED manufacturers and AED monitoring solution providers, to programmatically report readiness exceptions for registered devices. 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 including immediate push notifications to responsible parties. The Readiness API aims to reduce the chance that non-operational devices could be recommended for use.

AED REGISTRATION
The NEAR Registration API allows AED distributors with program management services and AED program management companies to create and update NEAR records programmatically. This enables registry partners to efficiently report new AED installations and maintenance/inspection activities for compliance purposes, as well as to share device locations for use during cardiac arrest events.
