Community resilience
How does the introduction of the MyResponder app help to build up community resilience?
What are the successes and limitations?
More than 170,000 people are registered on the myResponder app. Since the launch of the app in 2015, at least 76 people who had a cardiac arrest have been saved by such responders.
Aside from alerting community responders to incidents via the myResponder mobile application, users may also access information on the nearest automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and send photographs and videos of fires to help Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) personnel assess the gravity of the situation. There have been more than 40,000 myResponder cases up.
