Fond du Lac Fire Chief Pete O’Leary says its an app that could shave critical moments off the time it takes to get help by alerting people with CPR training to assist someone who goes into cardiac arrest. “If you have enough people with the app that have certification and you have aeds mapped on your smart phone it could very well help somebody that is suffering a cardiac arrest,” O’Leary told WFDL news. O’Leary says the app has become very popular on the west coast.
