Should we provide devices for our staff or allow BYOD? Should we use phones or tablets?

Using Pulsara, LifePak monitor customers can securely transmit ECGs to receiving emergency departments, Cardiologists, and other appropriate care team members by capturing a photo of the ECG printout using a high-resolution smartphone camera. This simple approach does not store the image on the device, and the protected patient health information is encrypted in Pulsara.

Great question! Email privacy@pulsara.com or security@pulsara.com with any questions you have and our Privacy and Security Officer will be in touch with you shortly to answer your questions.

A resounding Yes! NOTHING is stored on your phone. For example, when you take a picture of an ECG using Pulsara, the image is not stored in the photo section on your device.

We do not store or cache any patient data on a mobile user’s phone. The patient data (ePHI) is only ever stored in a restricted database on the Pulsara Cloud platform with limited access. No patient data is ever permanently stored on iOS or Android devices.

Doctors are not liable for breach of confidentiality. No patient data is stored or cached on mobile devices. Patient data is only stored in a restricted database on the Pulsara Cloud platform with limited access. 

Successful implementation and management are key to getting the most out of Pulsara. Here's how to get started.

Our closest direct competitors are pagers, vapid phones, non-HIPAA compliant SMS, answering services, email services, fax machines, and those companies that make the recordings you listen to while you are on hold. There are other companies that do small portions of Pulsara—like transmitting an ECG or simple HIPAA compliant messaging. However, if you are looking for a comprehensive and scalable communications and logistics platform, you just found it.

Short answer: Yes...
When you purchase Pulsara, you're becoming part of the Internet of Lifesaving People. That means you're not just buying a product, you're getting a true partnership.
