The PULSE initiative was designed to enable Europe to effectively prepare and respond efficiently to pandemic diseases or other major incidents with many casualties.
The European Health Service includes hospitals, community health services, pre-hospital emergency care services, medical suppliers, rescue services, health-related voluntary services, etc.
These are the core emergency response services to major threats (pandemic disease, major terrorism attacks). The PULSE project sought to explore how the EHS can adopt new technologies and innovations to better prepare and respond to a major medical emergency. Within PULSE, a range of software tools were developed to improve the early detection of pandemics, streamline patient triage and missing person identification.
