For decades, the most revealing signs of cardiovascular strain could only be measured in a clinic or research lab. Central blood pressure. Arterial stiffness. Whether your heart muscle was getting enough oxygen to keep up with demand. All powerful signals of hidden risk—yet out of reach for everyday people.
What was once limited to hospitals is now available in your home—turning prevention from an annual checkup into a daily practice.
A Hospital Test, Without the Hospital
The Pulse arterial health monitor may look like a standard blood pressure cuff, but it does far more. In just a couple of minutes, it captures a complete arterial profile once reserved for specialists.
- Central blood pressure (CBP): the pressure your heart, brain, and kidneys are actually exposed to—not just the number at your arm.
- Arterial stiffness (AP and AIx): how flexible, or resistant, your arteries are as they carry blood forward.
- SEVR (Subendocardial Viability Ratio): whether your heart muscle is receiving enough oxygen compared to the workload it’s under.
These aren’t vanity numbers. They’re the real story of how hard your cardiovascular system is working—long before symptoms appear.
The Science Behind the Shift
What makes the Pulse different from wellness devices is its clinical foundation. It’s powered by SphygmoCor® technology—the same system trusted in cardiology clinics, FDA-cleared clinical trials, and validated in more than 2,700 peer-reviewed studies.
As Dr. Alberto Avolio, a global authority on arterial health, puts it: the central aortic pressure technology inside the Pulse “has been the gold standard for over a decade with researchers, specialist clinicians, and pharmaceutical companies in their clinical trials. The Pulse now launches that same technology into significant new healthcare markets, giving physicians and patients alike deeper insights into cardiovascular health.”
This isn’t wellness data. It’s the gold standard, finally at home.
Simple to Use, Sophisticated in Results
Using the Pulse feels familiar. You sit down, position the cuff, and press start—just like a routine blood pressure test. But while it measures brachial blood pressure at your arm, advanced pulse wave analysis algorithms calculate far more: central blood pressure, central pulse pressure, arterial stiffness, heart rate, and oxygen supply to the heart (a measurement of heart stress).
In less than two minutes, you get a multi-dimensional view of your cardiovascular system. What once required specialized lab equipment and a trained operator can now happen in the comfort of your home.
Hospital-grade science, simplified for daily life.
Why Home Matters
Accessing these insights at home isn’t just convenient—it changes the entire prevention equation.
- Early detection: Subtle changes in central pressure or stiffness often appear years before hypertension or symptoms.
- Consistency: Multiple readings at home provide a more accurate picture than a single clinic visit.
- Empowerment: You can walk into your physician’s office with data in hand—turning guesswork into a real, informed conversation.
The American Heart Association’s new 2025 blood pressure guidelines reinforce this point, recommending home monitoring as part of prevention and early treatment—aligning with exactly what this device delivers.
Barbara T., an early user, put it simply: “I just received my device and I was blown away by all the data it shows on first read.” For people who have only ever seen systolic and diastolic numbers, seeing arterial stiffness or oxygen supply metrics for the first time reframes what heart health means.
The most powerful heart insights are finally in your hands.
Insight You Can Act On
Of course, raw data isn’t the goal. The Pulse integrates into the Arterial Health Assessment, which places each reading in context. Rather than presenting raw numbers, it highlights whether values are in range, trending better, or signaling risk.
That context makes it easier to act—whether that means adjusting lifestyle habits or discussing results with your doctor. The design philosophy is clear: it’s not about replacing physicians, it’s about creating better conversations with them.
Adam Katz, a data scientist and athlete, sees the value in this immediacy: he likes being able to run a test after a workout or during a stressful week and see exactly how his arteries respond. That kind of feedback loop simply didn’t exist before.
You can’t fix what you can’t see. Once you see it, you can change it.
A New Standard for Prevention
Cardiologists already recognize the power of deeper arterial data. Central aortic pressure readings have been shown to transform how hypertension is treated, guiding therapy with more precision than brachial pressure alone. By making those same insights available at home, the Pulse bridges a critical gap in preventive care.
This is prevention made personal: science once confined to clinics, now in your hands.
Because your cardiovascular system doesn’t wait for symptoms. And now, neither do you.
