Pulse case study

Connecting patients and providers through digital care.

Pulse partnered with Mobomo to create a healthcare platform that simplifies joint replacement recovery. The mobile app and provider dashboard work together to keep patients and physicians connected in real-time, reducing complications, improving outcomes, and delivering a better post-surgical experience through secure, data-driven communication. 

Mobomo + Pulse

At a glance.

Pulse sought to transform how orthopedic practices manage post-operative care.

The goal was to create a unified platform that keeps patients and providers consistently aligned throughout recovery, replacing fragmented communication and inconsistent follow-up. 

  • Reduce avoidable re-admissions.
  • Strengthen risk management.
  • Support HIPAA-compliant data exchange across mobile and clinical environments.
  • Improve patient adherence.
  • Give providers real-time visibility into patient progress and risk indicators.
the challenge

Building the Pulse platform.

Pulse needed a platform that unified patient and provider communication, eliminated fragmented follow-up, and supported safer, more coordinated recovery journeys. To meet these needs, Mobomo set out to streamline provider workflows, deliver clear recovery guidance for patients, and enable continuous visibility into progress and risk indicators.

The solution

Connected care reimagined.

Mobomo designed and built Pulse as a secure, mobile-first care platform that connects patients and providers through real-time data and personalized recovery plans. We created the brand, design system, prototypes, and HIPAA-compliant backend, then developed the patient app and provider dashboard that power Pulse’s tailored daily guidance, continuous syncing, and secure communication throughout the recovery journey.

Strengthening Care Coordination

Unified communication and streamlined workflows reduce fragmented follow-up and help clinicians manage patients more efficiently through a single connected platform.

Meaningful impact

Why it matters.

Post-operative recovery is one of the most vulnerable moments in a patient’s care journey. Pulse demonstrates how thoughtful digital design can improve outcomes by keeping patients informed, supported, and connected while giving providers the real-time insight they need to intervene early and coordinate care more effectively.

Supporting better recovery outcomes

Continuous guidance, reminders, and check-ins help patients stay engaged in their recovery and follow care plans more consistently.

Improving clinical decision making

Real-time visibility into patient progress and risk indicators allows providers to identify issues sooner and respond with timely interventions.

Reducing fragmentation in care

A single, connected platform replaces disconnected touchpoints, enabling clearer communication and smoother coordination throughout recovery.
