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.
Free until 31 October 2026. Nothing to pay until then, and nothing renews unless you choose to subscribe. After that, A$9.99 a month or A$89.99 a year (US$9.99 or US$89.99 in the US).

Who PULS3 is for
Different lives. Same problem: the plan assumes a week you don't have.
-
Training for an event
42 km tells you what you did. Not what it was for.
Your first half marathon, a charity ride, the fun run your mates talked you into. Tell PULS3 what you're training for and why. It builds the weeks toward race day, eases off when your load climbs too fast, and offers to move the session when life gets in the way.
Train for your thing → -
Mums running the whole house
Closing a ring isn't the same as carrying him up the hill.
You're holding the whole house in your head: who's allergic to what, what's in the fridge, when you'll fit in a walk. Hand it over. PULS3 plans dinners everyone at the table can eat, checks each one against each person's allergies, and fits your own training around the week you actually have.
Get it out of your head → -
Getting back into it
There's nothing to catch up.
Two weeks off, two months, two years. PULS3 doesn't greet you with a backlog. It starts where you are, keeps the first weeks lighter on purpose, then climbs with you, and it tells you so on the plan.
Start from here → -
Wearing the data
More data isn't more direction.
Your ring, watch or strap knows how you slept. It doesn't know you have a big meeting tomorrow or dinner out tonight. PULS3 reads Apple Health and Oura alongside your goals, training and meals, and turns the numbers into one plan for today, with the reason attached.
Turn numbers into a plan → -
Perimenopause and menopause
Your body changed the rules. Your plan should too.
Broken sleep, new aches, energy that doesn't behave the way it used to. PULS3 has a menopause specialist working inside the same plan as your training and meals, so the whole week adapts to where your body is at. It also tells you when something is worth raising with your doctor.
Coaching that gets it → -
Clubs and coaches
Sessions end. Weeks don't.
PULS3 coaches every member in the days between the sessions you run, and each member's coaching stays private to them. We're running first pilots with a small number of clubs.

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
- Download the app from the App Store and sign in with Apple.
- Say what you want in your own words. "Get through the afternoon without crashing" is a fine answer.
- 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.
- 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.
