Laura Epstein, CEO and founder of Pulse Charter Connect, along with Chris Tyler, Pulse’s Chief Technology Officer, join host Ray Dogum in an episode you won’t want to put on ice. They dive into their backgrounds and share how their company is revolutionizing organ transportation logistics to save time—and lives.
Pulse Charter Connect (PCC) digitizes an antiquated logistics system currently used by transplant centers. We facilitate faster, safer, and more efficient transportation for organs and surgical teams, resulting in more organs transplanted and more lives saved. Additionally, the data collected from our software will empower the transplant community to further improve upon their current operations. Ultimately, with AI, we anticipate more informed, optimized decisions.
