PulsePoint Respond vs Life Flight

PulsePoint Respond is a 911-connected mobile app that can immediately inform you of emergencies occurring in your community and can request your help when cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is needed nearby. If you’re trained in CPR and are willing to assist in an emergency, the app will alert you if someone near you is having a cardiac emergency and may need CPR. In addition to nearby “CPR Needed” notifications, you can choose to be notified of other events that may impact you and your family, such as wildland fires, flooding and utility emergencies. You can also monitor live dispatch radio traffic for most PulsePoint-connected communities with a simple tap on the speaker icon. PulsePoint currently provides coverage for thousands of communities in North America, with many more on the way. For more information, visit pulsepoint.org, contact us at info@pulsepoint.org.

Life Flight is a tool intended for use by emergency first responders and hospitals. An authorized app user can instantly submit a request for patient transport to a communication center utilizing the Flight Vector CAD application. The app sends vital information for a transport request, including GPS location for scene calls, unit and room number for interfacility transports, requesting agency or facility, patient weight and safety information. The information sent will automatically create a request within the dispatch software which improves effiecency and reduces the likelihood of errors. FlightCall provides the user confirmation that assets are en route. The requestor will have up to the minute updates displayed on a Google based map. The graphical display will show asset location, asset identification, enroute time and estimated time of arrival. Registration is required for all users. Only users approved will have access to all features including the ability to request a transport. Additional functions of the app include: - Push notifications - Hospital directory, searchable by name - Landing zone guide
