Leaders in emergency services and Butler County gathered Thursday, May 21, at the Pittsburgh-Butler Regional Airport for the launch of PulsePoint Respond, a 911-integrated mobile app that alerts CPR-trained individuals to medical emergencies in nearby public areas so they may assist until first responders arrive. “What makes this program especially meaningful is that it expands the chain of survival beyond public safety agencies and into the community itself,” said Cranberry Township EMS Chief Matt Nickl. Survival can depend on how quickly CPR is initiated and an AED is applied, and PulsePoint helps close that gap by (connecting) those in need with people nearby who are willing and able to help before first responders arrive,“ Nickl said. The app’s launch in Butler County had been developing for two to three years and came during National EMS Week, which highlights the lifesaving care provided by paramedics and EMTs.
