Pulse, a Web3 health tech startup, has successfully closed a $1.8 million pre-seed funding round, co-led by Collab+Currency and Lemniscap. The round saw participation from Delphi Digital and Lattice Fund, along with contributions from notable angel investors like Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko.
This investment aims to advance Pulse's mission of creating digital twins—secure virtual profiles that facilitate personalized and preventative healthcare. The platform addresses the challenges of balancing privacy, personalization, and prevention, while allowing users complete control over their health data.
Pulse's recent success is evident as its first two pre-order batches of wearables sold out within 48 hours, indicating strong consumer interest in data ownership and personalized health insights. The funding will accelerate the development of Pulse's platform and wearables, enabling more users to access tailored health information.
The digital twin technology integrates data from wearables, electronic health records, and diagnostics into a unified health profile. Users can securely share their data with trusted partners, such as researchers and healthcare providers, in exchange for rewards, thus protecting privacy while providing actionable health insights.
The Pulse wearable tracks vital health metrics, including heart rate variability and sleep patterns, across over 50 activities. This real-time data generates AI-powered insights, empowering users to make informed health decisions. By sharing information under strict consent protocols, users can contribute to clinical research and receive rewards.
AI is revolutionizing various sectors of healthcare, yet a staggering 97% of health data generated by hospitals remains untapped due to privacy concerns and regulatory restrictions. Pulse aims to bridge this gap by enhancing data privacy and interoperability, facilitating secure data sharing that benefits both individuals and the healthcare system.
