About Us: Why We're Different and Why We Care

Who Are We?  A Grass-Roots Team of Patient Support Enthusiasts. 

Pulse of the Patient is a private next-generation, social entrepreneurship startup organization whose primary objective is to assist patients struggling with the most difficult challenges through experienced-based learning on a global scale: knowledge-sharing to aid decision-making, improved quality of care and quality of life. We have devoted our professional and personal lives to improving cancer care through research, assisting patient foundations and volunteering with key cancer societies. We strive to enable cancer patients, their families, and friends to be better prepared to manage their disease and take back control of their life.

What Are We Building?  A Patient-Driven Ecosystem.

Current web and social media resources fail to address the full range of quality of life issues and lack the overall patient perspective and innovative applications necessary to drive real decision-making. At Pulse, we are building a patient-driven ecosystem where patients, family members and friends can support one another.

Here's what we hope to achieve:

  •  Connect and share with other patients within the same stage and treatment or at other points within the disease
  •  Discover experience-tested recommendations whether medical, financial, social or psychological that have helped other patients and families improve their overall quality of care and life
  •  Understand the current standard of care through an aggregate lens of ALL peer patients in the same disease stage or other stages
  •  Learn from valuable resources contributed by other patients as well as our own team of patient advocates
  •  Leverage innovative applications (e.g. Pulse Companion) to be better prepared to engage doctors in healthcare decisions

Why Now? Cancer's Personal and Your Experience Matters. 

As a cancer patient, a concerned family member, or a friend:

  •  Have you ever felt overwhelmed with the complexity of cancer?
  •  Have you ever felt unprepared to make a difficult treatment or care decision?
  •  Have you ever wondered how the majority of patients in your similar situation acted and either regretted their decision or benefitted from it?

Cancer is an extremely personal disease, affecting all facets of our lives (physical, emotional, and social) and as a result, also impacting the quality of life of our loved ones.  If you would like to request a community, provide feedback about our site or have a new product idea for us, please do not hesitate to reach us at: info@pulseofthepatient.com.  We'd love to hear from you and will do our best in helping you through your struggle.
