Fort Worth connects nearby CPR volunteers through PulsePoint

Staff Writer · 2026-10-14 · Fort Worth

Fort Worth announced PulsePoint on October 14: a free public-safety app that alerts nearby CPR-trained people after a 911 report of cardiac arrest in a public place. The city also asks local AED owners to register their equipment so dispatchers and responders can locate it.

Residents trained in CPR can download PulsePoint Respond from the App Store or Google Play and use its nearby-incident alerts. The city describes notifications triggered after the emergency call reaches 911, not an app replacing that call or the arrival of professional responders.

Businesses and individuals with automated external defibrillators can add them to the National Emergency AED Registry through PulsePoint’s website or the PulsePoint AED app. The registry helps dispatchers and app users identify registered equipment; it cannot establish that an unregistered device is unavailable.

The announcement gives no enrollment deadline and does not promise a particular response time or individual medical outcome. Use the official city notice for the app links and registration route. This service update describes the city’s program, not a substitute for CPR training or emergency medical instructions.
