Sempulse (stylized SEMPULSE) is an American medical technology company that develops wearable, non‑invasive vital‑sign monitoring solutions for clinical, emergency, occupational, wilderness, and military applications.[1] The company's flagship platform consists of the Halo miniature vital‑sign wearable sensor, the LiveCharts multi‑patient mobile application (iOS and Android), the cloud‑based patient‑management portal known as Command Cloud, and the artificial intelligence-based prognoses development and patient prioritization engine known as Life Analytics AI.
History
Sempulse was founded with the goal of miniaturizing hospital‑grade vital‑sign monitoring into an ultra‑compact, reusable wearable for prehospital triage and continuous monitoring.[2] The company advanced from early prototyping and accelerator recognition into defense innovation pilot projects, eventually obtaining formal regulatory clearance and commercial launch.
Key historical milestones:
- Public demonstrations and startup accelerator awards in early development stages, such as the SXSW[3][4] Startup Showcase, the US Army's xTechSearch[5], winning the Association of University Research Parks' (AURP) International Innovation Award[6], and winning the inaugural Overall Award at MassChallenge Texas.[7]
- Inclusion in the U.S. Army's Rapid‑Deployment Experimentation Initiatives (RDAX) and Project Convergence Capstone 5 (PC-C5).
- FDA 510(k) clearance of the Halo system (May 2024).[1]
- First publicized life‑saving event credited to Halo use by EMS responders (December 2024).[2]
Products
Halo
The Halo is a miniature, reusable, adhesive biosensor engineered to be worn behind the ear and on the side of the neck. It monitors multiple vital signs and streams them wirelessly to paired devices and Command Cloud. Capabilities include:[1]
- SpO₂, pulse rate, respiratory rate, core body temperature, skin temperature, and motion/position.
- Rapid vital signs acquisition within seconds of placement.
- Ruggedized design for military and EMS use.
- Field rechargeable via Micro-USB Type B.
- Cleared for low-level disinfectant such as alcohol wipes.
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Long Range connectivity to smartphones and gateway devices.
LiveCharts
LiveCharts is a multi‑patient monitoring mobile app available on the Apple App Store[8] and Google Play Store.[9] It displays real-time details and dashboards of multiple patients, trendlines, and alerts.
Command Cloud
Command Cloud is a secure, role‑based web portal for multi‑site deployment, telemedicine workflows, alerting, and archival. It connects fielded Halo devices with command‑level dashboards and after action reporting for EMS, hospitals, or defense organizations. It bridges the expertise of centralized medical resources into the field.
Life Analytics AI
Life Analytics AI is an analytics product that leverages machine learning and predictive analytics to transform real-time vital signs data into actionable insights, patient prognoses, and advanced patient prioritization. It enables the early detection of health risks and automated clinical decision support.
Deployments and pilots
- U.S. Army Project Convergence Capstone 5 (PC-C5).
- RDAX experimentation campaigns.[2]
- Municipal EMS and fire department pilots.
- Integration with BATDOK and ATAK at SOMA Scientific Assembly.[10]
Impact
In December 2024, Halo was credited with saving a patient's life during an EMS deployment, marking the first documented real‑world lifesaving use.[2]
Regulatory status
The Halo Vital Signs Monitoring System (Halo, LiveCharts, Command Cloud) received FDA 510(k) clearance in May 2024.[1]
Recognition
Sempulse has been recognized at technology and innovation events, including SXSW and MassChallenge Texas.[3]
