About this app

Pulsara® is the healthcare communications and logistics platform that unites teams and technologies during dynamic patient events.

What makes Pulsara unique is the power it places in your hands to build your team on the fly. With Pulsara, you can add a new organization, team, or individual to any encounter, dynamically building a care team even as the patient condition and location are constantly evolving.

Simply CREATE a dedicated patient channel. BUILD the team. And COMMUNICATE & TRACK using audio, live video, instant messaging, data, images, and key benchmarks — all using devices you and your teams already know and love.

In a time when smartphones and mobile technology are used for just about everything from ordering food to managing finances to connecting with friends and family through group chats and video calls, healthcare is still falling behind. Many health systems rely on fax machines, pagers, two-way radios, landline phone calls, and even sticky notes to coordinate patient care. Siloed within their own departments and unable to securely and efficiently communicate, vital patient information often falls through the cracks, leading to wasted resources, delayed treatments, decreased quality of care, and billions of dollars lost annually due to medical errors.

Pulsara is a mobile telehealth and communication solution that connects teams—health systems, hospitals, emergency management, first responders, behavioral health experts, and more—across organizations. Scalable from the routine emergency medical services transport to a worldwide pandemic, Pulsara’s flexible platform enables entire health systems to standardize workflows and streamline communications for every method of arrival and patient type. The result? Decreased treatment times, providers who are empowered to provide better quality of care, reduced provider burnout, and cost and resource savings.

Unlike other telehealth solutions that only connect people within the four walls of their own facility, Pulsara can connect ANYONE from ANYWHERE for ANY condition or event, enabling true systems of care that scale. Purpose-built to improve the lives of people in need and those who serve them by simplifying healthcare, Pulsara streamlines all logistics and communications around patient events.

At Pulsara, we live by the phrase “It’s About People.” Customers—healthcare systems, hospitals, emergency services, medical control centers, aged care facilities, and other healthcare organizations—are seen as partners in a journey committed to improving the lives of every patient they serve. By leveraging innovative communication features through the Pulsara platform, clients across the globe have improved patient outcomes, including:

In Texas, a hospital decreased the time it takes for stroke patients to receive tPA by a record-breaking 59%, dropping from a 110-minute average to a 46-minute average

In an Australian health system, the ambulance routinely bypasses the emergency department to take patients directly to CT in 7 minutes on average, down 68% from a 22-minute average

A health care system in Arkansas treated STEMI patients in an average of 63-minutes, a 19% decrease in just four months

Connected teams have the power to achieve incredible results by bringing the focus back to what matters most: People.

Ratings and reviews

I'm in the middle of implementing this product in our county, and I honestly think it's a game changer. I've found it to be pretty intuitive to use and very flexible. The company obviously takes input from its people on the ground very seriously. The updates bring good new features. Just since we first had demos, the app has gotten measurably better. I see so much potential for this app, even beyond the changes it is already making for the better in our healthcare system. Keep it up!

Only just started using this app at a new job. Seems to serve it's purpose. One thing I know that would be the most useful is adding a function to switch on at a certain time. Waking up at 5 am to switch on for call but being off work is no fun. And turning it on the night before just wakes you up all night when you're not on call yet. Please add

There's no way to turn down the volume. That's a HUGE problem with a house full of people who are trying to sleep, and they can't due to it going off. I wish we didn't have it.

What's new

Pulsara 48 includes
* Search on the EMS Shift Screen - it is now much easier to find other team members and the unit for your shift.
* Improved Incident List - we streamlined the screen to make it easier to find incidents your entity is already participating in, or nearby incidents you need to join.
* Mark an Incident as a Test - otherwise known as a Drill, Mock, Training, or Table Top. Indicate that an incident, and all the patients in the test incident, are not really real.
