METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE NOTIFICATION
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for emergency response notification, comprising:
- providing a processor executing instructions for receiving an initial notification from a bystander that there is an emergency;
independently of a central emergency medical services (EMS) notification system, said processor receiving content from said bystander comprising identification of a specific location of said emergency and identification of said emergency type;
said processor applying rules to identify appropriate trained responders for said emergency; and
independently of said central notification system, said processor providing prioritized alert to said trained responders of said emergency, said alert comprising said emergency type and said emergency location.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention leverage mobile proliferation to enable laypersons to initiate a timely and effective emergency response in case of an emergency, such as a medical emergency, e.g. cardiac event. Mobile apps are made available as part of an organization'"'"'s overall response plan and program, allowing bystanders of emergency events to easily initiate notification of trained responders, for example in their facility, in a timely manner commensurate with the type of emergency specific to their facility. More particularly, embodiments of the invention use mobile applications to alert certified first trainees to respond to the scene of the emergency.
