Impact of Smartphone Apps on Reperfusion Times and Clinical Outcomes in Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
New published research finds smartphone-based interventions, including Pulsara, "significantly reduce reperfusion times in STEMI care pathways."
A Statewide Telemedicine Referral System for Regional Monoclonal Antibody Infusion Centers
Providers used Pulsara, a HIPPA-compliant video chat platform, to remotely screen patients and refer them to regional monoclonal antibody infusion centers if they met criteria...
Advancing Stroke Care Efficiency: Impact of AI and Communication Tools on Patient Outcomes
A new study published by the AHA shows the use of AI and communication tools (Pulsara and Viz.ai) decreases treatment times between 43% and 53% for door-to-CT, door-to-needle, and door-to-puncture times.
Improving acute cardiac and stroke treatment times by streamlining multi-disciplinary communication
Pilot results utilizing Pulsara "indicated faster timelines for delivery of care to patients with acute stroke or acute cardiac events. These changes improved AV and hospital metrics."
Factors influencing the successful implementation of a novel digital health application to streamline multidisciplinary communication across multiple organisations for emergency care
Researchers "illustrated that a single communication system [Pulsara] can be implemented with good acceptance across multiple healthcare organisations providing prehospital and intra-hospital care."
Real-world, feasibility study to investigate the use of a multidisciplinary app (Pulsara) to improve prehospital communication and timelines for acute stroke/STEMI care
Using Pulsara led to shorter timelines in caring for patients with suspected stroke and STEMI, and strong uptake suggests the clinical utility of such a communication system.
Stop Stroke: A Brief Report on Door-to-Needle Times and Performance After Implementing an Acute Care Coordination Medical Application and Implications to Emergency Medical Services
Researchers found that Pulsara "improved mean DTN times and number of patients treated within 60 minutes of arrival. These results demonstrate the app’s effect of increasing awareness of suspected AIS and improving coordination of care, evidenced by the magnitude of its effect on treatment times."
Researchers found that Pulsara "decreased mean DTN time by 40 minutes, a significant 46% improvement in this metric and is consistent with other studies of the app. We further observed a 3.7× improvement in DTN less than 60 minutes with use of the app."
The study found that Pulsara "decreased the average door-to-balloon times by 22% in the patients with acute STEMI arriving at our emergency department." Researchers also "observed modest improvements in meeting the less than 60-minute, less than 90-minute benchmarks, and improvements in the resource utilization."
