PulsePoint alerts CPR-trained people when someone nearby needs help

When someone’s heart stops, there are just minutes to save them from brain damage or death; by the time medics arrive, it can be too late. This is the problem former San Ramon Valley Fire Department chief Richard Price set out to solve with the crowdsourced iOS app, PulsePoint. Price came up with the idea for the app after a tragedy that happened feet from where he was sitting, reports Re/code.
