PulseAI, which develops cardiac diagnostics technology, has closed a seed funding round led by Innovation Ulster Limited, with participation from The Mortara Group and The Francis Crick Institute. The investment will enable it to scale deployment of its ECG technology and advance its pathway through US FDA 510(k) clearance.

Electrocardiograms are widely used as a frontline diagnostic tool, but interpretation often relies on specialist training and manual analysis. This can lead to delays, diagnostic variability, and missed opportunities for early intervention.

PulseAI’s ECG platform is designed to deliver clinical decision support in both primary and acute care settings, aiming to improve the accuracy and consistency of cardiac diagnostics and broaden access across healthcare systems.

As part of the round, Dr Justin Mortara will join PulseAI as Chair of the Board, strengthening its alignment with organisations active in cardiac monitoring, diagnostics, and hospital systems.

The funding will support regulatory advancement including FDA 510(k), further clinical validation across diverse populations and care settings, productisation for enterprise and OEM integration, and expansion of partnerships with device manufacturers and hospital networks.

This investment marks a pivotal moment for PulseAI as we move into full clinical and regulatory execution. Our goal is to deliver advanced ECG technology that can expedite and improve the accuracy of cardiac diagnostics, reducing variability and expanding access to high-quality diagnostics in all areas of healthcare.
Alan Kennedy, Founder & CEO
PulseAI sits at the intersection of clinical rigour, scalable technology, and real market need. The company is building a platform with the potential to elevate ECG interpretation across the entire care continuum, pairing its technology with traditional medical devices as well as a growing array of consumer wearables. I'm excited to support the team as they move through regulatory milestones to broader industry adoption.
