The biological layer of performance

Every player has their own strength.
PULSE helps it grow.

PULSE adds the biological layer to training, load and recovery, connecting what you ask of an athlete with how their body responds — so the next step can adapt to the individual.

Every response gives direction to what comes next.

The platform

See PULSE at work.

A look inside the platform with a fictional club: the baseline, the follow-up with the data you choose, the cockpit, the alerts per role, the KPI S in ten languages and OSCAR.

Monitoring tells you what happened.
PULSE helps you understand the response.

Coaches, medical staff, performance experts and the technology you already trust keep their role. PULSE adds what sits between load and performance: how this player's biology handles this load, today.

How it works

Four steps. One line of thought.

1
Performance

What does the sport ask of this player?

Load, contact, travel, congested weeks. The demand is known — and your GPS, wellness and training data stay exactly where they are.

2
Response

How does this biology handle that load?

DNA, Gut and Oral read as one ecosystem, with a urine strip through the season. The co-metabolism of Host and micro-organisms shows how this player processes the effort.

3
Adapt

What can we adjust today?

One word per player — START, ADAPT or PROTECT — and a short line for each role. Training, recovery, nutrition or timing move with what the body needs next.

4
Availability

So talent is there when it counts.

Players who adapt, recover and come back stronger are available more often — for the matches that matter.

What your staff see

One line per player. One message per role.

The doctor, the dietitian and the performance coach each receive their own alert on the phone. Never a photo, never a score: a position on a bar, the word that belongs to it and a short text that points to the next step.

How it starts

One sampling. Then a season of direction.

DNA

What makes the player unique — it does not change, so it is read once.

Gut & Oral

The ecosystem that moves with food, travel and a heavy week.

The strip

How the body is doing that day — on match day, the morning after and in a heavy week.

The baseline is read in our own laboratory. The data remains the player's. PULSE supports decisions and does not provide a diagnosis.

What every package includes →

Through the season

Not one measurement. A season of follow-up.

After the baseline, the biological layer stays with the player. The urine strip is the fixed biological layer next to the club's own training and wellness data — so the club does not need a device or a lab of its own.

When

On match day, the morning after the match and one extra morning in a heavy week: the first morning urine on a sport strip.

How

The player places the strip next to the colour chart and takes a photo in the PULSE app. PULSE is the reader; the app asks for a new photo if the image is too dark or blurred.

When it matters

With complaints or energy falling short, a photo of the stool follows: shape and colour show whether the food of the days before gave enough energy.

What the staff receive

Never a photo — always a position on a bar with its word and a short text, as an alert for their own role.

The strip is a follow-up measurement, not a diagnosis; an unusual result goes to the club doctor.
