On-Site Cardiovascular Wellness Screening

Pulse 4 Pulse

A 20-minute, non-invasive assessment that catches chronic disease before it becomes catastrophic.

Health and Wellness Through Early Detection

Pulse 4 Pulse (P4P) pioneers proactive diagnostic cardiovascular wellness testing — assessing both the macrovascular and microvascular systems. The mission is simple: shift the paradigm from reactive to proactive healthcare, empowering individuals with insight into their cardiovascular health at the earliest, most treatable stages.

Through a turnkey, on-site testing model, P4P partners with physician practices, employers, and health-conscious organizations to identify hidden chronic disease before it becomes catastrophic — providing the equipment, the certified medical staff, and real-time results.

The Hidden Health Crisis

1 in 4
adults with diabetes don’t know they have it — 7.2M Americans undiagnosed
1 in 4
adults have undiagnosed hypertension — the top driver of heart disease & stroke
50%
of people with peripheral artery disease are asymptomatic as it silently progresses

The Gap in Standard Care

The current standard of care is designed to identify late-stage macrovascular disease — addressing only about 15% of the vascular system. Early microvascular dysfunction, the foundation of vascular disease, largely goes undetected until it results in a serious or catastrophic clinical event. P4P adds the missing 85%, screening both micro- and macrovascular systems for a 100% protocol.

The 3-Test Protocol

1. Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

  • Measures heart-rate variability and beat-to-beat blood pressure during deep-breathing, head-tilt, and Valsalva maneuver tests to identify nervous-system disease and endothelial dysfunction.

2. Sudomotor Test

  • Stimulates sweat glands with low voltage through a glass plate to detect neuropathy and early vascular disease risk — identifying patients before symptoms appear.

3. Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)

  • Measures the ratio of upper- and lower-body blood pressure to detect peripheral vascular disease and assess circulatory health at the macro level.

How It Works

  • P4P provides all testing equipment and a certified medical assistant on-site.
  • The patient completes a brief intake form to confirm eligibility.
  • The technician conducts the 20-minute, non-invasive cardiovascular assessment.
  • Real-time results and clinical recommendations are delivered immediately to the individual.
  • About 60% of adult patients qualify based on commonly encountered risk criteria — one of the highest-yield preventative services available.

Conditions Identified

Cardiovascular & Vascular

  • Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
  • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
  • Hypertension / elevated blood pressure
  • Endothelial dysfunction
  • Early-stage microvascular disease

Metabolic & Neurological

  • Diabetes (Type 1 & Type 2)
  • Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN)
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Autonomic nervous system disorders
  • Pre-diabetic / at-risk conditions

The Financial Case — 500-Person Organization

Financial SummaryAmount
P4P Assessment Investment (300 members × $250)$125,000
Estimated Undetected Disease Cost Exposure$1,866,100
Estimated Absenteeism Cost$150,000+
Estimated Presenteeism / Productivity Loss$100,000+
Estimated Total Cost Avoided (Conservative)$2,116,100+
Estimated ROI on P4P Investment~17:1

For every $1 invested in P4P testing, organizations can conservatively expect to avoid more than $17 in downstream medical costs, productivity losses, and absenteeism. Estimates based on published ADA (2022), CDC, and peer-reviewed healthcare-economics data; individual results will vary.

This Is Not a Wellness Perk — It Is Risk Management

The most expensive healthcare decision an organization can make is choosing not to act. Undetected chronic disease eventually surfaces as an emergency-room visit, a disability claim, or a premature death. P4P gives leaders the opportunity to intervene while intervention is still affordable — delivering both measurable ROI and life-changing insight to members.
