Support every student.
Before a crisis makes it urgent.
Pulse Check™ is the proactive student well-being platform that bridges the gap between students and the adults who support them.
Data-Driven Check-Ins for the WHOLE StudentWith personalized goal-setting, regular check-ins, and instant AI feedback, Pulse Check empowers athletes and coaches to excel in all areas of well-being, fostering stronger communication and tailored support for peak performance and goal achievement.
Why Pulse Check?
1 in 3 students report feeling consistently overwhelmed. Most point to academic and financial pressure, not extracurriculars, as the primary cause.
Students are also less likely to bring mental health concerns to teachers and coaches than physical ones, which means the adults in the room are often working without the full picture.
Pulse Check™ closes that gap. It surfaces student needs proactively, so educators are never going into a check-in cold. Instead of waiting for a crisis, they can show up informed, prepared, and ready to make a real difference.
The result is a shift from reactive support to proactive mentorship. That shift is what changes outcomes.
“As a Division One collegiate athlete at an Ivy League school, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the numerous priorities constantly demanding my attention. Being far from home and adjusting to living independently adds to the challenge. Pulse Check provides me with a valuable moment each day to pause, reflect, and analyze my thoughts and feelings. It helps me assess if my actions align with my goals and aspirations. Pulse Check has been a grounding force, offering clarity and support when the pressures of life become overwhelming.”

How it Works
Athletes take 5-7 minutes to set goals and “check-in” by self-rating on a Likert Scale in physical, adacemic, emotional, and social categories, providing video, audio or written explanations around their score.
1
Student-Athletes receive instant AI coaching that provides personalized, actionable next steps based on their check-in. This ensures that students receive prompt guidance and support, customized to meet their unique needs and facilitate ongoing personal development.
2
Coaches tap in to check-ins to deeply understand each student. Visual tools display progress towards goals, showing changes over time through percentage metrics and a line graph that tracks well-being across different areas, serving as intrinsic motivators by highlighting personal growth and equipping coaches with in-depth insights to provided targeted growth.
