Who we are
Human factors and design research for healthcare
Simple focus.
Clear direction.
Pulse HF is a human factors and design research consultancy focused exclusively on healthcare. We design and run studies that help medical device and drug delivery leaders understand real-world use, identify risks and opportunities, and generate the evidence needed to guide product development and ensure compliance.
Our philosophy
Prove it.
In healthcare product development, assumptions aren’t enough—you need evidence. Our work is led by senior experts with decades of experience in human factors engineering and design research. With teams in the United States and United Kingdom, we have led hundreds of programs across global healthcare markets, helping teams pressure-test new concepts, identify risks, and generate the evidence needed to inform design and demonstrate to regulators that products are safe, effective, and ready for the real world.
Our approach
Careful planning.
Precise execution.
Successful projects begin with thoughtful planning. Our senior experts carefully scope programs, define recruitment strategies, and design research that answers the most important product questions.
That preparation allows us to run efficient, well-organized programs that stay on schedule, respect your budget, and deliver clear findings your team can act on—backed by data regulators trust.
