PulsePoint: Enabling Citizen Responders Like You
For more than 344,000 Americans a year, suffering a cardiac arrest brings an end to their story. We want to see that change and to do that, we’re enabling YOU to help your neighbor out when they need it most. For every minute that passes while someone is in cardiac arrest, their chances of survival drop by 10%. In the cases where bystander Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation is provided though, that person’s chance of survival increases by 40%. While your Greeley Firefighters remain ready to respond to any call, 24/7, a closer bystander willing to help out can make all the difference. But how will you know where someone is when they need your help?
Enter PulsePoint.
Frequently Asked Questions
Launched in June 2025 in Weld County, PulsePoint is a free mobile app that connects CPR-trained individuals with nearby cardiac arrest emergencies. When someone in a public location experiences a sudden cardiac arrest, the app can alert nearby users to provide hands-only CPR while emergency services are en route.
Anyone can download and use PulsePoint. It’s especially useful for people trained in CPR—whether you're a healthcare worker, first responder, or a member of the public with CPR certification. Pulsepoint offers two apps:
- PulsePoint Respond – for CPR-trained individuals to help during cardiac arrests.

You do not need CPR training to download the app, but only trained individuals should respond to CPR alerts.
