A SIMPLE PATCH: A SCALABLE SAFETY STANDARD

Pulse Patch® is a rapidly deployable, disposable adhesive device that monitors heart rate and oxygen saturation, and is designed to alert responders to changes in readings. It is built to scale through policy adoption, risk reduction pressure from insurers and compliance momentum, and it expands beyond custody into any environment where delayed medical response turns minutes into tragedy.

SECONDS MATTER, SO DOES ACCOUNTABILITY

Pulse Patch® exists to prevent avoidable in custody medical crises, protect officer careers, reduce agency and insurer exposure, and raise the standard of care in the moments that matter most. Custody emergencies are uniquely difficult because the environment is uncontrolled, information is incomplete, and decisions must be made quickly with limited medical visibility.
