Staying Alive: A Life-Saving App for Emergencies

Staying Alive is a free Android app developed by Le Bon Samaritain that provides defibrillator mapping and citizen responders management. The app is compatible with Android 5.0 and above and is available in 18 languages. It maps over 120,000 defibrillators worldwide and won an award for its exceptional features.

The app’s main features include locating the ten closest AEDs near you or in a specific address, reporting new AEDs, and registering as a citizen responder if you are trained to do CPR. The app also provides a video illustration of the survival chain, reminding CPR gestures, and a practical guide on the use of an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). In addition, the app has an “Emergency” mode that detects the local number depending on your location, which helps you make the right decisions in the right order.
