PulsePoint and ZOLL Accelerate Growth of National Emergency AED Registry, Helping More Communities Locate and Use Devices When Seconds Count
‘Anyone Can Register’ mobilizes volunteers and AED stakeholders to add community devices nationwide, building a comprehensive, validated registry
The PulsePoint Foundation and ZOLL®, an Asahi Kasei company that manufactures medical devices and related software solutions, including automated external defibrillators (AEDs), announces a new initiative, Anyone Can Register.
The program will rally volunteers, AED owners, and AED manufacturers to expand NEAR so AED locations nationwide are known and recommended during cardiac emergencies. Launching in February 2026 during American Heart Month, the initiative is part of ZOLL’s national Anything Can Happen. Anyone Can Help.™ campaign, which works to close the gap between CPR awareness and action by showing that AEDs do more than deliver a shock. They guide bystanders with step-by-step CPR instructions and can help improve outcomes for cardiac arrest patients.
