Who we are
Coping with the hypergrowth
of medical knowledge
Unlike the healthcare professionals of the 20th century, who could limit themselves to occasionally reading articles in their field, today's professionals face a rapid acceleration in scientific knowledge.
Where it doubled every 3 years in 2010, it now doubles roughly every 72 days. Keeping up without external help has become impossible.
This hypergrowth of knowledge
has two direct consequences:
Doctors have had to adapt by hyperspecialising, concentrating their learning on a field a human brain can master. This has reduced their capacity to treat a wide range of pathologies, at a time when the shortage of doctors is acute.
Healthcare professionals find it difficult to quickly and easily find precise answers to their medical questions and therefore to carry out their work. Today, they rely on search engines that lack reliability and relevance.
Our beliefs
At PulseLife, we are convinced that technology can help meet these challenges by supporting healthcare professionals.
To achieve this, it must meet certain key criteria:
Using digital tools is now essential to draw answers to healthcare professionals' medical questions from the growing body of scientific knowledge, so they can make informed decisions quickly.
These technologies must allow healthcare professionals to maintain broad expertise through real-time access to reliable, up-to-date and actionable information in their daily practice.
These solutions must make extensive use of AI and new technologies capable of managing the exponential growth of medical data.
These solutions must be easy to use, translate immediately into practical help, and keep pace with developments in knowledge and technology.
These solutions must also free up a significant part of the time healthcare professionals spend keeping up with their field, so they can focus on their main activity: caring for patients, and the human relationships they build with them.
Our vision
Medicine is accelerating, and so is your practice with PulseLife.
With PulseLife, we aim to support healthcare professionals in the new world of evidence-based medicine, helping them reinvent their practice every day in step with the latest medical and scientific advances.
Our mission
To make excellent care accessible to all.
Our values
Since the start of our journey, PulseLife has been guided by 3 values, which shape both our products and organisation:
Co-founders
Grégoire Pigné is originally from Charleville-Mézières. In 2003, he began studying medicine in Reims before joining Claude Bernard University in Lyon to specialise as a clinical oncologist in radiotherapy.
Throughout his professional experiences, Grégoire noticed that medical knowledge was growing exponentially and that much of what he had learned during his studies was already obsolete. He then began to imagine innovative solutions to support healthcare professionals manage their knowledge and gain rapid access to reliable and precise medical information.
After joining the Start-up program at EMLyon, he launched PulseLife in 2014, alongside his sister Clotilde Petit and Romain Bruckert.
Since its creation, PulseLife has aimed to reconcile the practice of medicine with the rapid growth of knowledge, to improve the quality of care.
Grégoire continues to work as a clinical oncologist and radiotherapist at Saint-Étienne University Hospital. Passionate and versatile, he alternates between his doctor's coat and his entrepreneur cap.
Clotilde Petit holds a Masters' degree in Management from EMLyon and Copenhagen Business School (CBS). Over her career, she developed strong expertise in marketing at large companies such as L'Oréal, LVMH, and Seb.
Pragmatic, organised, and commercially-driven, Clotilde turns ideas into action plans. In 2014, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, she joined her brother Grégoire as COO and co-founded PulseLife with Romain BRUCKERT.
After a specialised course in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management at EMLyon, Romain BRUCKERT moved into technology. He applied his expertise at companies such as Valéo, Eudoweb and Citizenplace.
Versatile and ambitious, Romain went on to found his own CRM company, Bluewink Development.
In 2014, he joined Clotilde Petit and Grégoire Pigné as CTO to launch PulseLife.
He has strong expertise in technology and innovation.
