  2. Sudden Cardiac Arrest • More than 1,000 people a day die from Sudden Cardiac in the U.S.1 • Worldwide millions die annually 2 • Many of these deaths occur needlessly

  3. PulsePoint Foundation • Increase Sudden Cardiac Arrest survival rates in a massive way worldwide • Bystander CPR is a critical link in the chain of survival. It has been shown to more than double a victim’s chance of surviving a cardiac arrest 1 • Using an automated external defibrillator (AED) in addition to performing bystander CPR further improves the chances of survival 2 • Replace “good luck” with groundbreakingtechnology and a true paradigm shift tocitizens as the first, first responder

  4. “Time is Brain” • With every minute the chance of survival is reduced by 7-10% 1 • Within 4-6 minutes brain damage starts to occur 2 • After 10 minutes few attempts at resuscitation succeed 3

  5. Chain of Survival According to the AHA bystander CPR is only performed 32% of the time 1 According to the CARES registry a public access AED is used only 4% of the time 2
