Introducing Pulse: The Open Health Network for a Smarter, Safer Future

Solving Healthcare’s Biggest Challenges: The Healthcare Trilemma

Healthcare is undergoing a revolution, driven by rapid advances in AI and data. Yet, despite this surge of innovation, the healthcare trilemma persists: the challenge of balancing privacy, personalization, and prevention—the pillars of digital healthcare. These challenges often force individuals to choose between protecting their privacy and accessing personalized, preventative care. Pulse believes this compromise shouldn’t exist.

That’s why Pulse is proud to introduce a health data aggregator that builds digital twins for humanity—a secure, unified health profile that unlocks the future of personalized healthcare. The platform not only safeguards health data but also empowers individuals to take control of their health in ways previously unimaginable.

The Healthcare AI Boom and the Untapped Potential of Data

AI is transforming everything from drug discovery to personalized care. Over the next decade, the health data market is projected to grow from $67 billion to $540 billion. Yet, despite this immense growth, a staggering 97% of health data generated by hospitals remains unused. This underutilization of data is due to several barriers: privacy concerns, regulatory restrictions, and fragmented, siloed systems that prevent seamless data sharing.

Most healthcare data, from electronic health records (EHRs) to data generated by wearables and diagnostics, is highly valuable but locked away due to security risks, lack of interoperability between systems, and data ownership concerns. Hospitals and health systems often hesitate to share data because of privacy risks, compliance with regulations like HIPAA, and the high costs of securing and managing data flows.

Why the Time is Now

Recent high-profile data breaches, such as the Change Healthcare ransomware attack, which exposed the health records of millions and resulted in $872 million in fines, and the 23andMe breach, where genetic data from 6.9 million users was compromised, underscore the urgent need for robust security in health data management. These incidents highlight vulnerabilities in current systems, emphasizing the necessity for secure solutions that protect sensitive health information while enabling innovation.

Advances in privacy-preserving technologies, such as Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), now offer solutions that allow health data to be securely processed without exposing personal information. 

Pulse leverages these technologies to meet the evolving demands of a health-conscious society, ensuring privacy while delivering personalized, actionable health insights. This approach empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their well-being without compromising the security of their data.

Pulse: Turning Vitals into Value

Pulse is redefining how health data is utilized by addressing the core issue of untapped data in today’s healthcare markets. Current health data brokerage models fail to reward the individuals generating the data, even though it holds immense value. Instead, this data is siloed, underused, and controlled by intermediaries who benefit the most from its exchange.

Pulse changes this dynamic by creating a platform where individuals are rewarded for their contributions. By aggregating data from wearables, medical records, and diagnostics, Pulse creates a comprehensive health profile that individuals can share with trusted third parties like clinical researchers or pharmaceutical companies, but only with explicit consent. In return, individuals receive real-world rewards for sharing their data.

Unlike traditional systems that exploit personal data for profit, Pulse flips the model. Individuals maintain complete control over their data, deciding how and when it is used. This shifts the power from corporates to users -  empowering individuals to benefit from the data they generate while contributing to breakthroughs in personalized and preventative healthcare.

Pulse: Redefining Health Monitoring for an Active Lifestyle

The Pulse wearable device offers a comprehensive health and lifestyle solution. The Pulse wearable tracks key health metrics, such as heart rate variability, sleep patterns, and blood oxygen levels, while supporting over 50 activities to provide real-time data for workouts and daily activities.

The Pulse app uses this data to deliver personalized AI-powered insights, helping users manage energy levels, improve sleep, and maintain a balanced lifestyle. Additionally, the app acts as a gateway for users to contribute their data to Pulse’s network, allowing them to share their health information with trusted third parties—like clinical researchers—while maintaining full control over how and when their data is used.

With its integrated features and rewards system, Pulse encourages individuals to build long-term healthy habits, while also benefiting from contributing to advancements in health research and technology.

The Future of Health, Today

Pulse is reshaping the future of healthcare. By solving the healthcare trilemma—balancing privacy, personalization, and prevention—the platform ensures that health data is no longer just collected; it’s leveraged to provide value, insights, and rewards to the individuals who generate it.
