Cardiac Crusade
Plano, TX, United States
Julie Coon is a Sudden Cardiac Arrest survivor. She is alive today because people around her knew CPR and how to locate and use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) to shock her lifeless body back to life. Her husband Greg learned the importance of quickly knowing where the closest AED is located. Together they launched Cardiac Crusade, a 501c3 with a mission to get AED locations accessible on smart phones AND to emergency dispatchers/responders.
Phase 1 is getting an “army of volunteers” to register and verify AED locations into a global database, a database that emergency dispatchers have access to at NO COST.
Phase 2 goal is getting those AED locations accessible natively on smartphones. Greg and Julie are currently in conversations with two global mapping companies to make that happen.
