Improving Awareness And Use Of The First-Responder Alerting Application, Pulsepoint Respond, In The Nursing Profession, Maclaine Matties

DNP Projects

Background/Significance

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a sudden, life-threatening emergency that can occur anywhere and to anyone. In 2023, the American Heart Association identified OHCA as a public health crisis, with survival rates around 10%. Outcomes depend heavily on rapid intervention, as each minute without cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) significantly reduces survival. Mobile phone–based alert systems help bridge the gap between collapse and emergency medical services (EMS) arrival by notifying nearby trained responders. In a county in the Northeast, PulsePoint Respond serves this role. However, despite 1,302 registered responders as of November 2025, only 7 registered nurses were enrolled, highlighting an …
