OUR LEADERSHIP
CEO & Co-Founder Robert Page has published 3 industry books and has 20 years of industry experience building and managing medical travel technology companies, successfully facilitating more than 10,000 international procedures.
Co-Founders Jonathan Edelheit and Renée-Marie Stephano have each had 16 years of experience building the industry’s prominent organizations, including the Medical Tourism Association (MTA) and Global Healthcare Resources.
We are confident our co-founders’ involvement and influence within these organizations put us in a strategic position to quickly grow the Pulse audience.
In 2014, Pulse founder, Robert Page’s father, a US physician, was diagnosed with cancer and given a grim prognosis. Thanks to his family’s network of connections, years of experience in the medical field, and persistence, they were able to find the care he needed. The best option was to seek medical care outside the United States, which proved to be extremely difficult, even with their vast experience and connections.
The difficulties they encountered along the way, and the lessons they learned, led them to build the Pulse platform, the key to unlocking the full potential of the medical travel industry.
CRM software tailored to the medical travel industry: Pulse technology bridges the gap between medical professionals and patients. Its suite of software and marketing solutions allows a doctor or hospital to quickly become relevant in the medical travel industry and customize their spending to generate a predictable level of revenue from patient bookings.
Patients get access to a network of world-class doctors, transparent pricing, secure engagement, and certified care coordinators.
With more than 100 medical providers, 11 clinics and 21 hospitals already live on Pulse—as well as founder connections to major industry players within this space — we are confident we have the leadership, partnerships, and business model to completely disrupt and bring medical travel into the mainstream.
In spite of its sizable $100B annual revenues, medical travel is difficult to access and thus continues to be a niche market. Pulse technology will not only make it easier for patients and doctors to connect, but its transparent pricing and high standards will motivate patients to increasingly shop the global market for care that fits their needs.
The Problem
Based on our research and experience, beyond WhatsApp, email, and spreadsheets, providers lack centralized technology to the field, convert and manage patient prospects outside their domestic markets.
This often leads to missed or mismanaged connections….and when connections do happen, the lack of a cohesive path, formal practices, and intuitive user experience often turn away the more risk-averse patients.
Because of this, the market is vastly underachieving.
*The above information is based on internal research and management's experience.
The Solution
As far as we are aware, Pulse is the first technology platform of its kind. We give medical professionals a plug-and-play solution, almost eliminating the learning curve and enabling them to get to market with a minimal investment of time and money.
Online marketplaces have energized and reshaped many sectors of the economy. Pulse endeavors to build the leading marketplace for global medical travel, providing patients with a safe and secure environment in which to search, engage, and book with world-class providers
Leveraging the power of platform technology, Pulse enables multiple stakeholders in the supply chain to add value to the ecosystem and in return receive commensurate value or compensation.
Pulse assists providers at any point within the patient management process, whether they’re looking to break into the industry, increase patient volume, or manage existing patient populations.
The Market
The medical travel industry has grown dramatically over the past decade and is expected to continue expanding at a CAGR of 12.8% over the next several years. The global industry is projected to reach a market size of nearly $273.72 and service 70 million patients by the year 2027.

What We Do
With Pulse, your patients get all the support they need to confidently book
In addition to an on-demand team of multi-lingual, trained patient-care coordinators, you and your patients get access to technology solutions specifically built to make the medical tourism process efficient and hassle free.
When a new patient is introduced into the Pulse ecosystem, they are immediately paired with one of the certified, independent coordinators on our platform. The coordinator assists in obtaining necessary medical information, gauges patient readiness, and acts as a patient advocate.
Only after the patient and coordinator have completed the onboarding process do they connect with a potential provider within the platform. This streamlined process allows providers to dedicate the bulk of their time to patient care, and only engage when absolutely necessary - when a patient is ready for consultation.
The Business Model
Any qualified medical professional or patient-care coordinator can join our platform, reducing the barrier to entry and allowing us to onboard customers quickly.

How We Are Different
Before founding Pulse, we had come to realize that doctors & hospitals lack the technology, marketing assets, trained sales team and general understanding of how to succeed in this market.
Our unique B2B solution targets the supply side of this industry, giving them a plug-and-play technology and marketing solution to help them efficiently engage and capture a greater number of patients.
Our Competitors are all B2C Travel Agencies for Medical Travel
…but this model has not generated any winners, because:
*The above information is based on internal research and management's experience.
The Vision
Just as Uber does not own taxis and Airbnb does not own hotels, Pulse aims to become the largest platform for global healthcare - without owning any hospitals.
Beyond our niche in the medical travel market, we see how Pulse software can be applied to service other healthcare communities, such as domestic healthcare communities, private insurance, self-insured companies, and government healthcare agencies.
As Pulse grows, we will increasingly use our influence to promote equitable, transparent, and qualitative healthcare services across the planet.
Beyond our original niche in the medical travel space, we believe the applications of this software are limitless. In addition to vastly expanding the user base on our original platform and streaming connections between international patients and providers, we will serve both the self-funded business and domestic healthcare communities.
Why Invest
We believe there are few industries that can generate as impactful a change as the medical travel space. This technology connects patients across the world with innovative and life-saving treatment options that have historically been too difficult for most to access.
Until this moment, we don’t know of any company that has had the tools, background knowledge, and extensive user research critical to bringing about this healthcare revolution. We have everything in place to make this change—now, all we need is you.

Hello everyone, we've had a busy month onboarding new partners, negotiating new business relationships, and helping international doctors, clinics and hospitals manage their medical travelers.
A Business with Purpose
One of the many medical businesses that are thriving in our program is Trinity Stem Cells. Trinity was founded by a US family that helped their autistic son get stem cell treatments in C. America with remarkable results. They wanted more people to have this outlet, but realized that the prohibitive cost and distance would be insurmountable for many. So, they decided to build a clinic along the US-Mexico border and are now opening multiple clinics in Mexico to provide mesenchymal stem cell treatments to patients with different medical needs with a focus on treating autistic children. They offer costs at about 1/3 of what is offered with competitors, donate treatments to children in Mexico, and allow parents 0% financing options. They authentically believe in what they do and are committed to making this available to as many autistic children as possible. Pulse nurse coordinators booked 4 treatments in the past 24 hours for Trinity following social postings from parents reporting significant improvements in their children following treatments. As you can imagine, helping patients .... and especially the very young ones gives everyone on the Pulse team great purpose and boosts company morale.
In addition to the above we have plenty going on, a lot on the way, and much to celebrate:
Thank you all for your support

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
