NCT ID NCT04806958
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a mobile app called PulsePoint can increase the number of people who receive CPR or a defibrillator from bystanders before emergency services arrive. About 340 adults who suffer a cardiac arrest in a public place will be included. Half of the emergency calls will trigger the app to alert nearby trained volunteers, while the other half will follow standard procedures. The goal is to see if the app leads to more bystander help.
