Expanded support for naloxone, bleeding control, and epinephrine registries. These resources can now be registered at any location, paired with an AED, or on their own.
The National Emergency AED + Resource (NEAR) Registry provides centralized access to AEDs, bleeding control kits, epinephrine and naloxone, so they can be identified and deployed during life-threatening emergencies.
The NEAR Registry integrates with emergency communication centers so telecommunicators can alert callers to nearby lifesaving resources.
In communities using PulsePoint Respond, AED owners and responsible parties can receive real-time alerts when their registered AED is needed nearby.
The NEAR Registry consolidates data from all available sources to create a unified, authoritative source of resource locations for emergency use. These sources include manufacturers and distributors, program management companies, governmental entities, school districts, airports, and partner organizations and NGOs. Many communities also collect locations in partnership with local businesses and places of assembly.
The NEAR Registry is hosted and administered by the PulsePoint Foundation, a US-based public 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to empower community members to take life-saving action in the critical moments before professional help arrives. In furtherance of this initiative, PulsePoint provides access to the NEAR Registry, administrator training, and support services at no charge. For more information, please visit near-registry.org.
The NEAR Registry is FirstNet Certified™ for use with 911. FirstNet Certified solutions must demonstrate 99.99% availability and pass third-party security, data privacy and performance assessments.
Great app!! Has picture and description of where the AED and instructions, too! Keep in mind that this app is driven by us, the people using it. It needs people to identify where the AEDs are and add it to the app. So we need to help each other, be proactive and add the AEDs. More people need to help adding the AEDs. However, to the developer, is there anyway that the app can get access to our photos? I find that when I see an AED, I want to add it but it can only take a pic within the app. I may it have the time at the moment to add it so having it allow to get my photo lets me enter the info later. For verifying, can you add a feature that will have a notification that an AED needs to be verified near you when you open the app?
Wow

Was at local gym- alarm on my phone went off "CPR NEEDED". Second alarm within a minute. Took me a few seconds to catch on- gentleman had arrested in parking lot. CPR already started by gym personnel, and fire dept paramedics there within 2 minutes. This patient was unable to be saved, but maybe next time. I am amazed at the capability of this app to alert trained first reminders to a crisis nearby. And appreciate the survey that followed. This is an incredible tool that can truly save lives. Thanks so much
A big step forward

In our agency these AEDs are recommended when 911 talks to callers during heart emergencies. Many times the callers are unaware of AEDs close to them. We have used for several years.
Need more locations identified!

I am a ALS Certified first responder. I’ve been on the site for over a year and it seems the following in some regions is terrific and other regions nonexistent. In New York State for example where I live, very few AED‘s are identified. In my immediate neighborhood I know of for dinner closer to my home then any that show up on the site. This is too good an idea to not succeed. You need either a legislative advantage or more word-of-mouth &marketing campaign (digital) to get the word out and more AED’s identifiedGood luck, I’ll be watching.
Developer Response
Please give our latest version (2.0) a try. We have been working hard to spread the word and have significantly grown the registry coverage.
• The PulsePoint AED app is now the NEAR Registry app, better reflecting the expanding emergency resource focus of the National Emergency AED + Resource (NEAR) Registry.
• Bleeding control kits, epinephrine and naloxone can now be registered at any location, whether paired with an AED or on their own.
