About

About PULS3

PULS3 is an AI health coaching app for iPhone that keeps one plan for your training, food, sleep and stress, and changes it when your week does. It's built for people training for an event, mums holding the whole house in their heads, anyone getting back into it, and wearable owners with plenty of numbers and no plan.

Most people already know what to do. The hard part is doing it in a week that doesn't go to plan. PULS3 gives you a head coach and nine specialists who read the same picture of you and agree on one next step.

Who PULS3 is for

Different lives. Same problem: the plan assumes a week you don't have.

What PULS3 does

A daily plan built from your actual night

Each morning PULS3 reads your sleep, workouts and heart data from Apple Health and sets the day: movement, meals and recovery, with the reason for each. A rough night reshapes the day instead of cancelling it.

Training that adjusts to your load and your life

PULS3 tracks training load across lifting, running, riding and swimming. When a week climbs too fast, it eases the days before the hard session. After a break, it brings you back lighter and then builds again. In the gym it shows last time's sets and offers a next load, which you can take or ignore.

Meals for everyone at your table

Tell PULS3 who you cook for, with their allergies, goals and picky eaters. It plans a week of dinners that fit your training block and checks each meal against each person's allergies. You can log meals by photo and correct what it saw.

Your lab results in the same picture

Import a PDF or photo of a blood test you already have. A cloud AI reads it, you check the values, and your coach uses them alongside everything else. PULS3 does not order tests.

A coach you can ask anything

Chat with one coach. Behind it, specialists for sleep, nutrition, exercise, stress, mood, lab results, women's health, menopause and men's health confer, so you get one answer rather than nine. Each one keeps its own memory of what you've told it.

A clear line where clinicians take over

Every reply passes fixed safety rules and a second AI check before you see it. When something needs a doctor, PULS3 says so plainly. It also knows how to tell you your numbers look fine.

What makes PULS3 different

One plan across training, sleep, food and stress

MyFitnessPal and MacroFactor are built around food logging. Ladder is built around strength programs, and Noom around weight loss. PULS3 puts training load, sleep, meals and stress on one plan, so a hard week at work changes tomorrow's session and a big training block changes dinner.

No device to buy

Google Health Coach launched for Fitbit and Pixel Watch owners, with other devices promised later. WHOOP's coach needs a WHOOP strap, and Oura Advisor needs an Oura ring. PULS3 reads Apple Health, so it works with whatever you already wear, or with nothing at all. Already have an Oura ring? Keep it. PULS3 connects to it directly and turns your sleep and readiness into a plan.

The plan moves, and tells you why

ChatGPT and Claude answer questions about your data when you ask, and both can read Apple Health in the US. Nori, the closest app to PULS3, writes a daily plan from your wearables and labs. PULS3 also keeps a training program and a week of meals running underneath the daily plan. When you miss two weeks, it brings you back lighter and builds again. When your load climbs too fast, it eases the days before the hard session. Each change is offered with its reason in plain language, and nothing moves until you say yes.

Specialists for women's health, menopause and men's health

PULS3 has dedicated specialists for women's health, menopause and men's health, and they work inside the same plan as your training and meals. Food and training apps like MyFitnessPal, MacroFactor and Ladder don't coach on these. Google Health Coach tracks cycles and Oura Advisor covers women's health, but both currently need their own device.

Your health data is stored on your iPhone

PULS3 stores your health data, plans and coaching memory on your phone. Replies need a cloud AI call, and those requests are not kept. If you sign in, your backup is encrypted on your phone before it uploads.

Priced for one person, with no hardware

After 31 October 2026, PULS3 costs A$9.99 a month or A$89.99 a year. Google Health Premium costs A$14.99 a month in Australia, on top of a Fitbit or Pixel Watch. Nori Pro lists A$19.99 a month on the Australian App Store. Ladder Pro is US$29.99 a month.

The team behind PULS3

PULS3 started in the Nike Sport Research Lab, where every tool tracked one part of an athlete's health and nothing put them together. It also started with the old problem in field research: people follow a protocol when a coach is standing next to them, and drift when no one is. PULS3 PTY LTD was founded in Melbourne in 2026 to put a coach next to everyone.

Adam Nutt, MSc

Co-founder and CEO

Adam built PULS3 end to end. He holds an MSc in Computer Science and Machine Learning from the Georgia Institute of Technology, led engineering at the Nike Sport Research Lab, and has fifteen years of engineering leadership across health and consumer products. LinkedIn

Candice Nutt, MA and PhD*

Co-founder and Chief Product Officer

Candice designed the PULS3 coaching model and outcome framework. She brings masters training and doctoral research in applied sociology and program design, and she specialises in designing interventions that change behaviour and proving they work.

Dr Jason Paruthi, MD

Founding Medical Advisor

Jason co-designed the PULS3 safety framework. He trained at Harvard Medical School, studied at MIT Sloan, and was Senior Director of Health at Lark Health, a US AI health-coaching company, which he joined as Medical Director.

How PULS3 works

  1. Download the app from the App Store and sign in with Apple.
  2. Say what you want in your own words. "Get through the afternoon without crashing" is a fine answer.
  3. Connect Apple Health, or skip it. Apple Watch, Garmin, Oura and most wearables write to Apple Health. You can also connect an Oura ring directly in Settings.
  4. Get your first plan the same day, and a new one every morning after that.

Your health data, plans and coaching memory are stored on your iPhone. Coaching replies need a call to a cloud AI model, and those requests are not kept. If you sign in, your backup is encrypted on your phone before it uploads. Questions and feedback go to Adam at [email protected], and the founders read every one.

Frequently asked questions

Is PULS3 a medical app?

No. PULS3 gives coaching guidance, not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. It tells you when something needs a doctor, and its safety rules were co-designed with a physician.

Do I need a wearable?

No. PULS3 works from what you tell it. If you wear an Apple Watch, Garmin, Oura ring or anything else that writes to Apple Health, PULS3 uses that data too.

How is PULS3 different from asking ChatGPT or Claude?

ChatGPT and Claude answer the question you ask. PULS3 keeps a plan for your whole week, remembers what happened, and changes tomorrow when today goes differently. Each specialist keeps its own memory, and every reply passes safety checks before you see it.

How is PULS3 different from Nori?

Both read your health data and write a daily plan. PULS3 also runs a training program and a week of household meals underneath that plan, and has specialists for women's health, menopause and men's health.

What does PULS3 cost?

PULS3 is free until 31 October 2026. After that it costs 9.99 a month or 89.99 a year for one person, or 19.99 a month for a family, in Australian or US dollars. The App Store shows the price before you pay.

Is my health data private?

PULS3 is privacy-first. Your health data is stored on your iPhone. Coaching replies use a cloud AI model call that is not kept, and signed-in backups are encrypted on your phone before they upload.

Where is PULS3 available?

PULS3 is on the App Store for iPhone in Australia and the United States. There is no Android version yet.

One body. One team. One plan that moves with you.
