Collect authentic insight from people with lived experience — safely, ethically, and at scale.
Organizations say they value lived experience — but often struggle to hear it honestly.
Power dynamics, stigma, and fear make traditional engagement methods unreliable. Advisory boards alone don't capture the full picture.
People with lived experience often self-censor around staff, case managers, and leadership—sharing what feels safe, not what's true.
Advisory boards and focus groups can feel performative, representing a small fraction of voices while missing the broader community.
When input passes through intermediaries, nuance is lost and uncomfortable truths get softened or omitted.
One-time listening sessions and annual surveys can't capture the evolving, day-to-day reality of people's experiences.
Pulse creates safe, anonymous channels that elevate lived experience voices without pressure or exposure. Feedback can be gathered continuously and shared directly with leadership, funders, and policymakers.
Designed for sensitive contexts. No identifying information, no pressure, no power dynamics—just safe, authentic input.
Multilingual, low-literacy friendly, and designed to meet people where they are—kiosks, QR codes, or mobile access.
Replace sporadic listening sessions with continuous feedback that captures how experiences evolve over time.
Collect lived experience feedback in a way that respects dignity, avoids tokenization, and centers authentic voices.
Four simple steps from setup to actionable insights.
Place kiosks in accessible locations or distribute QR codes for mobile participation—meeting people where they are.
Use trauma-informed language and design to create a safe space for authentic sharing without pressure.
Identify patterns, emerging needs, and systemic issues across populations and programs.
Share lived experience data directly with leadership, funders, and policymakers to drive meaningful change.
For the first time, we heard what people actually thought — not what they felt safe saying out loud.
