First Responders: first aid app for cardiac arrest

First Responders

When cardiac arrest occurs, every second counts. Momentum’s software helps regions in Switzerland implement a community of first responders, committed to rescuing victims every day and increasing the chances of survival.

Our solution allow you to:

Increase the chances of survival of the victim in your region
Increase the sense of community fulfilment of citizens and ignite a network of first responders
Provide a comprehensive map of all installed AEDs
Integrate with leading CAD software
Manage multiple response groups in a single platform: from lay people to professional teams
Alert responders through multiple communication channels
Monitor the position of rescuers until the end of the mission

How does it work

An operator at a 144 center receives a call to assist a victim of sudden cardiac arrest in an area that is difficult for emergency response teams to reach in a timely manner.

Integration of Momentum’s software with the center’s CAD allows the operator to generate a call for service and, through a patented algorithm, select only those responders who are closer to the patient than the ambulance and can increase the chances of survival.

01. Cardiac arrest occurs

02. The emergency is communicated to the 144 center

03. The intervention is created and through the selection algorithm the First Responder is selected

04. The selected First Responder receives the push notification

05. The First Responder takes charge of the intervention and receives the information

A mobile app to save people's lives

The Ticino Cuore Foundation has chosen to adopt Momentum’s alarm management software to manage and alert the groups of volunteer rescuers engaged every day to help people suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. Using Momentum’s mobile app, the organization is able to quickly mobilize First Responders and achieve its goal: increasing the chances of survival for people in the Canton of Ticino.
