Our take
PulsePoint is a healthcare tech provider that uses real-time data to provide insight into patients. It uses machine learning and programmatic automation to better understand this data, enabling clinical diagnoses and solutions to be delivered more quickly and accurately.
With its range of analytics solutions, PulsePoint aims to improve predictive aspects of healthcare. The company recently launched its Signal technology, which draws together a range of physician-to-patient data, enabling healthcare organizations to cross-reference with their own information to gain fresh insight.
The global Big Data market for healthcare is expected to be worth $78 billion by 2027, according to an analysis by Emergen Research, and PulsePoint is setting out to be a big part of this growing sector. Having been acquired by Internet Brands in 2021 but remaining an independently run entity, it will benefit greatly from the expertise and market reach of its parent company and their portfolio of health media companies, including WebMD and Medscape.
