An infant’s life is saved after “turning blue” at a dance shop in Spokane, WA An unbelievable story out of Spokane, Washington is showing us just how amazing new technology can be when used for good.
As local TV station KXLY reports, it began at a store called Empire Dance Shop. A clerk was alerted about a baby “turning blue.” She is actually a former lifeguard so she lept into action and started doing rescue breathing on the baby after calling 911. [eap_ad_1] That’s when the magic happened.
A mechanic named Jeff Olson was working at a tire store two blocks away when all the sudden, his phone sent him probably the most important push notification of his life.
Olson is a volunteer EMT and has a smartphone app on his phone called “Pulse Point.”
PulsePoint is an app that alerts potential first responders in areas of emergency based on GPS tracking. The app knew he was right around the corner and sent him a notification that an emergency was going on at the dance shop.
Olson ran over, was told a baby was going blue, and saved the baby’s life. (Business Insider)
