A Decade of Proven Results: 20 Research Studies that Demonstrate Pulsara’s Impact

Over the past decade, a growing body of research is establishing a powerful consensus: cross-functional, real-time care team communication is a foundational imperative for emergency care response—particularly around time-sensitive incidents such as stroke, STEMI, and MCIs. When communication barriers are removed and interoperable collaboration is streamlined, clinicians can focus on what matters most: delivering timely, effective care.

This is the new standard of care.

As the leading communication and logistics platform for emergency care, clinicians and researchers are putting Pulsara to the test in real-world environments. The following third-party, peer-reviewed research studies demonstrate Pulsara's clear and consistent efficacy. Organizations and care teams that utilize Pulsara experience faster and easier care coordination, reduce treatment delays, and improve outcomes across entire systems of care.

Here are 20 published studies that establish Pulsara’s effectiveness and meaningful impact:

31% median improvement in STEMI FMC-to-device times; STEMI patients achieving FMC-to-device times of ≤90 minutes went from 50–66.7% to 95%

Pulsara, and similar smartphone-based interventions, significantly reduce reperfusion times; case management, resource allocation, and patient outcomes also improved (STEMI)

Definitive value found utilizing Pulsara for telemedicine initiatives: 6K+ COVID-19 (many rural / limited access) patients successfully supported during severe resource-constrained MCI

43% improvement in door-to-CT times; door-to-needle times dropped by 49.5%; door-to-puncture decreased by 53% (Pulsara + Viz.a Integration)

Improved relationships with EMS while streamlining provision of performance feedback (Pulsara + RapidAI Integration)

Proven effectiveness for reduced Door-to-CT times, with trend toward improved patient outcomes (Stroke)

Successful multi-organization implementation with wide acceptance of Pulsara for prehospital and intra-hospital care

Improved care timelines for STEMI and stroke, including 44-minute faster average Door-to-CT times for stroke

Implementation of prehospital communication technologies such as Pulsara found to significantly improve treatment times and outcomes (Stroke)

New communication technologies like Pulsara deemed necessary to disrupt ineffective triage protocols (Stroke)

Improved care metrics, including a two-fold increase in cases meeting 60-minute Door-to-Needle benchmark (Stroke)

51-minute improvement in median Door-to-CT completion times (Stroke)

Improved care timelines and ease of use found to be most influential factors for successful adoption of Pulsara

Faster Door-to-Needle times when activated by EMS, compared to ED activation (Stroke)

28% faster Door-to-Needle times, and 60-minute benchmark success increased from 32% to 82% (Stroke)

Faster Door-to-Balloon times for STEMI, and faster Door-to-CT and Door-to-Needle times for stroke

46% improvement in median Door-to-Needle times (Stroke)

22-minute reduction in Door-to-Needle times, a 28% improvement (Stroke)

Overwhelming consensus among ED nurses on Pulsara ease-of-use, usefulness, patient benefits, and intention to continue use

22% faster Door-To-Balloon times; better 60-minute and 90-minute benchmark success rate (STEMI)

This decade of data-driven research demonstrates a clear and consistent pattern: Pulsara works. From stroke and STEMI treatment to system-wide coordination, clinical research findings consistently and repeatedly show the value and effectiveness of Pulsara; teams move more quickly and work together more effectively, treatment times are reduced, and patient outcomes improve. As healthcare continues to evolve, these findings reinforce the critical role of unified communication in delivering better outcomes at scale.
