An American's life was saved the other day thanks to an application called Pusel Point, which extremely quickly brought him the help he needed when he suffered a minor heart attack. The man fell at the bus stop in front of a medical center in Washington, and the Pulse Point application had a major contribution to saving his life.
More precisely, after he fell at the bus station, the man was initially helped by a student present in the medical center, but the real help came from a nurse at the location. It had the Pulse Point application installed and was announced when a call to the 112 emergency service was made to save the man.
The Pulse Point application was created especially for those who have knowledge of resuscitation techniques, sending them alerts every time a person is in danger. The alerts are sent together with the medical crews that need to reach the patient, and if a person is closer to him than the ambulance, he can help him faster.
The Pulse Point application works thanks to the help provided by the authorities, who send emergency calls through it, but also thanks to the monitoring of the frequencies of the emergency services. Its developer claims that the application has saved many lives, including that of the man from Washington.
The Pulse Point application displays on an interactive map all the locations where there are people who have suffered a heart attack, but also the locations where there are automatic public defibrillators. It is available in over 2000 cities in the US and is a very good proof of how technology can be used to save people's lives.
