Mobile electronic medical record

An EMR the rest of the world can afford

Pulsonics is a cloud-based electronic medical record that runs on ordinary smartphones — your staff's own or hospital-issued. No server room, no cabling, no generator — and no million-dollar IT project standing between your hospital and a digital patient record.

The problem

Much of the world still has no affordable EMR

Not because hospitals do not want one. Because the traditional way of buying one assumes infrastructure that simply is not there.

Phone, tablet, browser

One record, whatever is in your hand

The same patient record, the same data, laid out for the screen it is on. Nurses tend to work from a phone, ward rounds from a tablet, and administration from a browser — nobody has to agree on one device.

The patient record

A complete record, on a phone

Pulsonics is a full patient record, not a note-taking companion. Infections and allergies stay visible at the top of every screen, so the things that change a decision are never buried.

  • Anamnesis, symptoms and clinical notes
  • Allergies, infections and risk flags — always in view
  • Diagnoses and chronic conditions, coded in ICD-10 or ICD-11
  • Vitals and clinical observations over selectable time frames
  • Vaccinations and home medication
  • Clinical photos and documents attached to the encounter

Clinical communications

Chat that stays with the patient

An integrated team chat, deliberately as familiar as the messenger your staff already use — except the conversation sits inside the patient's record instead of on someone's private phone.

  • Chat in patient context, one-to-one, or in a group
  • Send pictures and videos across departments
  • Continuity of care across shift changes
  • Nothing leaks into a consumer messenger to get an answer

Patient context

The conversation lives on the patient, so nothing has to be re-explained.

1-on-1 and group

Reach an individual or the whole team caring for that patient.

Photos and video

A wound photo goes into the record, not into a camera roll.

Across the shift

Handover reads back through the thread instead of relying on memory.

Built for real conditions

Designed for the hardware you can actually buy

Pulsonics assumes the environment it is actually used in, rather than the one a specification sheet imagines.

One record, never two

The record lives in the cloud, not on the phone. Nobody is ever working from a stale copy, and there is nothing to reconcile afterwards.

No patient record on the phone

No persistent patient record is stored on the handset, so a lost or shared phone does not walk out with a ward's worth of patient data. Which matters in a shared clinical environment where phones get handed around.

Affordable hardware

Android smartphones start at around USD 100 per device — your staff's own or hospital-issued; for clinical use we recommend managed hospital devices. Tablets work too, and the iOS app is in open beta on TestFlight.

Ready for your language

Fully supported today: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic, Russian and Kazakh — and for Arabic the layout mirrors, not just the words. Colleagues in one hospital can each work in their own language: structured documentation is translated, free-text notes stay as written.

Your choice of hosting

On our servers in Germany, in a cloud of your choice — Google, Microsoft, AWS or another provider — or on premises in your own data centre.

Full audit trail

Every view and every change is recorded against the patient, by name and timestamp. Accountability without paperwork.

Partners

Local partners

We are building a network of local partners who know your health system: training, first-level support and — where it helps — the devices themselves, bundled with the software. Until a partner is in place in your country, Pulsonics supports you directly.

  • Training for clinical and administrative staff
  • On-site first-level support in your time zone and language
  • Device bundling, so hardware and software arrive together
  • Local commercial terms and invoicing

Three ways to start

Try it today, on whatever you have

Start in a browser in a couple of minutes, or install the Android app on your staff's phones or hospital-issued devices. The iOS app is in open beta and you can join it through TestFlight.

Signing up takes a few minutes and needs nothing installed on your side. Want a guided tour of a ward round instead? Request a demo.
