Summer 2020 Recap

Like trying to find cooler temperatures in August, our events schedule has almost been nonexistent this summer. So, what did we spend our summer doing? Well....

April 2020 Recap

Before COVID-19 put a stop to all public gatherings and social-distancing became the new norm, Pulsara was registered to attend seven conferences across the country in April. Most were cancelled or postponed, with the exception of the Singing River Health System's 8th Annual Stroke Symposium, which was held virtually. We may not have exhibited at the event but we did continue to sponsor the virtual conference.

In April, Pulsara also won and was a finalist for a couple of awards, we presented an enriching webinar, and we were featured in interviews by our clients: 

March 2020 Recap

Before events across the county were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our teams managed to travel to the Sunshine State for EMS Today and the Palmetto State for the SC Emergency Care Symposium. While our events schedule was light, the announcements we made in March were anything but. In March we: 

February 2020 Recap: 

February might not be the longest month but it was certainly the busy! Our teams attended five conferences throughout the month AND made a pretty amazing announcement: during the International Stroke Conference, we released a case study that focused on Miami Valley Hospital's integration of Pulsara and RapidAI to enhance the hospital's processes for stroke treatment. 

March will be another slow burner for us as we head at three conferences - all of which take place at the beginning of the month! 

January 2020 Recap: 

January's event schedule was a little quiet compared to normal, as our teams traded one sunny and warm location for another: they attended events in California (NAEMSP) and Louisiana (Neuro/Cardio Update). Our event calendar may have been light, but the time spent at these events was enriching as we connected with Pulsara champions, clients, and partners (pictured below, our table next to RAPID at the Neuro/Cardio Update). 

We'll be picking up the pace next month during American Heart Month as we make our way to five events across the country. 

December 2019 and Year-End Recap: 

In December, our teams traveled (sadly not by sleigh) to Kentucky, Washington, and Florida where they presented posters and spread the Pulsara cheer from EMS agencies to hospital systems across the country. 2019 was a whirlwind year for team Pulsara. We nearly doubled the number of trade shows we attended from 30 in 2018 to 62 (!!) in 2019, making our way across 23 states from coast (Hawaii) to coast (Florida). We announced our partnerships with iSchemaView and ImageTrend, earned a listing in the FirstNet App Catalog, welcomed a new President to Team Pulsara, were recognized as one of the Ten Best New Tech Companies in Montana, and received a SIIA CODiE Award for Best Healthcare Technology Solution.

With the close of December, we usher in a new year and a new decade! While 2020 may be off to a slower start (trade show wise, anyways) in January, you can bet your bottom dollar next year will be one of our most exciting to date! 

November Recap:

The Pulsara team worked hard for the bountiful feast they all enjoyed at the end of November (Thanksgiving). Our teams attended eight conferences across the midwest and south, were featured in a webinar hosted by EMS World, and released new STEMI and Stroke Case Demonstrations. 

With the craziness of November and Black Friday behind us, we're going to slow things down a bit in December. Much like a certain white haired, jolly old man, our teams will be traveling (sans reindeer...that we know of) from coast to coast spreading the holiday Pulsara cheer. We hope attendees of the KHDSP Task Force Meeting, IHI National Forum, and Cardiac Arrest Survival Summit will be as excited to see us as Buddy was to see Santa. 

Spooktober Recap:

October was full of more treats than tricks for our team. They spoke at three conferences - NC EMS Expo, Becker's Health IT + Revenue Cycle Conference, and EMS World -, we released v 10.9 (hello, can you hear us better with the improved video and VoIP calls?), announced our partnership with ImageTrend to extend data exchange options, and were selected as an EMS World Innovation Award Finalist for our new EMS Handoff feature that lets first responders start a case and hand off the patient to EMS. 

As you can see, instead of slowing the Pulsara team down, the cold weather makes us work harder than ever. Even as we enter stuffing and huffing season, our teams won't be dragging from the tryptophan that's about to enter the air in November. 

September Recap:

September was by far the busiest event month of 2019. We attended a whopping 11 shows in seven states throughout the continental US - we even managed to attend conferences in both of the Carolinas - and released Pulsara v. 10.8. We won't let the cooler temps, beautiful foliage, early snow storms (yes, snow!), or the start of the holiday season keep us distracted from what is going to be an exciting fall season. 

We've got a BIG announcement coming out during Spooktober as our teams make their way to Chicago, NOLA, Columbia, and Buffalo. 

August Recap:

The last full month of summer was filled with our coverage of the 2019 EMS Trend Report and sent our teams to Arkansas, Mississippi, and Colorado for conferences that covered EMS, Trauma, and Critical Care. August may have been one of our more quieter months, but, unlike the bears in Montana, our warmer months spent 'hibernating' will lead to one incredibly busy fall. With a whopping 18 events (12 of which are in September) and a major announcement, fall 2019 is set to be one of our most exciting seasons yet!

Conferences, Summits, Trade Shows, Expos, Forums...no matter what you call them, we're going to be heading to all of them in September! 

June & July Recap:

Our events calendar for June and July was a little lighter than the super busy spring and fall conference schedules we have, but that doesn't mean Pulsara hasn't been busy! Not only did we release version 10.7 of our platform (chock full of clinician requested updates), we were also named one of the Best Tech Startups in Bozeman, AND we partnered with Vonage to enable mobile telehealth capabilities! 

If you've been following this trade show blog and looking at the pages we build, you might notice something a little different with this batch. Team Marketing and SmartBug Media have been hard at work to create a new event page template that we'll be using from here on out. Though it may change somewhere down the line, as all things do, we hope you enjoy this new look for the time being! 

August takes our teams on the road again, with two symposiums in Mississippi and Colorado.

May Recap:

May sure was a busy month for the Pulsara team! We revamped our About Us page and added an Events page to our website, released Pulsara v. 10.6, were named as a finalist for the SIIA CODiE Awards for Best Healthcare Technology Solution, and our teams attended whopping NINE trade shows across the land.

As the craziness of spring slows down during the (hopefully) slow, hot summer months, so does our events schedule as we head to two conferences at the end of June and one in July.

April Recap:

Did you catch our exciting release announcement at the beginning of the month? Don't worry, Pulsara Earth will still be here for all your earthly, human, and healthcare communication needs 😉. While spring was still yet to be seen in April in Montana, our teams were seen out and about around the Northwest US (Colorado and Idaho). As we're typing this, some of our Pulsarians are making their way to Idaho for the New Frontier Emergency Medicine Conference where a room full people will be able to learn about the necessity of regional communication networks from the one and only, Pulsara Founder & CEO, James Woodson. 

May the force be with our teams as they head to six shows across the country in May. 

March Recap:

Hello, is it Spring you're looking for? Well, we found it and eight trade shows in March. Clearly, the time change on the 10th didn't slow us down! Our teams traveled far and wide across the country - from the East Coast (South Carolina) to the West (Washington) - connecting with current and future Pulsara users. Our VP for Clinical Innovation and Development, Shane, even gave the opening presentation at the Singing River Stroke Symposium: IT'S ABOUT...TIME! Activating Stroke Alerts in the Field are the Key to Better Outcomes. 

April showers bring May flowers. We'll be showering the North with more love as we head to the Centennial State and the Gem State for three different and informative symposiums. 

Heart-uary Recap:

We managed to pack four trade shows - and two huge announcements - into the shortest month of the year. During the International Stroke Conference in Hawaii, we announced our integration with iSchemaView, that now streamlines the sharing of images through its RAPID platform. Last week, during EMS Today in Maryland, it was announced that Pulsara has been added to the FirstNet App Catalog. Both announcements are huge wins in the fight to improve the lives of patients and care givers. While we don't have any exciting announcements in March, we'll be plenty busy. 

There's a lot going on in March - March Madness, St. Patrick's Day, Spring Break, springing forward to Daylight Savings (March 10th, FYI), the Spring Solstice... As busy as March will be celebration-wise, Pulsara will be equally as busy as we spring to six states and seven trade shows. 

January Recap:

Well, 2019 is certainly off to a great start! Not only did we start working with a slew of healthcare entities in Virginia, during the NAEMSP Annual Meeting in Austin, we announced the integration with the ZOLL RescueNet 12-lead monitor that allows ECG's to be attached directly from the monitor. January also took our teams to Wisconsin for the WEMSA Conference and NOLA for St. Dominic Hospital's NeuroCardio Update. 

We've got another four shows we'll be attending from one side of the country to the other-ish (Hawai'i to Maryland) during American Heart month (February).

December and 2018 Recap:

In 2018, our teams attended 30 trade shows/conferences in 15 states across the country. 2018 was an exciting year as the Pulsara application evolved to include sepsis, trauma, and cardiac arrest modules, transfer/consult and video chat features, and an integration with ZOLL's X Series Monitor. While 2018 kept us busy, we don't see that changing in 2019. It's full steam ahead for our teams as they head to Texas, Wisconsin, and back to NOLA in January. 

November Recap:

It was an exciting beginning of the month as we announced our new integration with the ZOLL X Series Monitor during EMS World at the end of October/beginning of November. Counting the tail end of EMS World, we attended 2-1/2 trade shows in November between Tennessee, Texas, and Florida. Don't worry, all the turkey our team consumed during Thanksgiving hasn't left us feeling too drowsy as we head into the final month of 2018. 

We're finishing the year in the South with conferences in NOLA and Orlando. 

October Recap:

Our EMS World Expo team is currently representing Pulsara in Nashville (#PulsaraTakesNashville). Not one, but THREE of our attending team members are presenting on a variety of topics, both by themselves and with other Pulsara advocates. October also took us to Memphis and Cincinnati for an EMS and Stroke Symposium, respectively. 

We'll continue tackling the south in November as we head to Florida and Texas.
