AED-needed Alerts
Subscribing to AED-needed alerts
When a cardiac arrest occurs near a registered AED, subscribers to that device receive an AED-needed alert requesting they deliver the AED to the reported location.
Responsible parties can subscribe to receive AED-needed alerts for their own devices. Other users can request authorization from the responsible party to receive alerts as well.

Authorizing a subscription request
A Responsible Party may authorize others to receive AED-needed Alerts for a device they own/manage. Responsible parties will receive an email when a subscription request is initiated. This request can be approved or denied directly within the email, or in the PulsePoint AED app. Only subscribers that are known, trustworthy, and have physical proximity and access to the AED should be approved. An approval can be revoked at any time.
