Emotional Pulse App
Reaching in, made a daily habit.
A 30-second check-in. A trusted pair who notices. A team view that protects every individual. The Emotional Pulse app is how support becomes something people do for each other every day, between the check-in calls and after the training.
Free for individuals, always. Organisations add group hierarchy and reporting on a paid plan.
Stress moves emotionally first
Most systems notice risk once behaviour changes or a claim is filed. By the time it appears in a survey, an exit interview or a claims report, the harm has happened. Stress, overload and isolation move emotionally first, before performance drops and before a complaint is filed. A daily check-in catches the shift while it is still small, and gives people a reason to talk to each other before anyone needs a formal conversation.
The Emotional Pulse Framework
A Four-Layer System for Psychosocial Risk Prevention
The Emotional Pulse Framework is a structured, four-layer system designed to detect psychosocial risk early, strengthen peer support networks, provide organisational visibility, and ensure that every signal of workplace distress reaches the right level of care at the right time. It operates upstream of formal clinical services in the everyday rhythms of work, making early intervention a routine habit rather than a crisis response.
Daily Check-ins
A brief, voluntary daily pulse that surfaces emotional signals fatigue, frustration, or disengagement, before they compound into burnout or injury.
Learn moreTrusted Pairs
A structured peer-support pairing that creates a designated, low-barrier pathway for colleagues to notice and respond to each other's distress before it reaches a manager or clinical service.
Learn moreGroup Insights
Anonymised, aggregated emotional signals that give leaders and support roles a clear, ongoing view of team-level wellbeing, turning daily check-in data into structured monthly reports that surface psychosocial risk early.
Learn moreStructured Escalation Pathways
A set of defined, role-specific protocols (using the LIFT and ACT frameworks) that guide managers and peer supporters from early detection through to professional referral, ensuring every signal leads to a proportionate response.

The System
How Emotional Pulse Works
Emotional Pulse works across four connected layers. Each layer builds trust, enabling earlier support and better outcomes.
Connect with Self
Daily Check-Ins (Leading Indicators)
A simple daily check-in builds awareness of how someone is feeling. This creates early visibility of emotional change, a habit of reflection, and the ability to recognise risk early.
↳Transforms emotional state into a leading indicator of psychosocial risk
Connect with Others
Trusted Pairs (Peer Support Network)
People are far more likely to open up to someone they trust. This provides a safe first point of support, regular natural conversations, and early discussion of challenges.
↳Creates a structured peer support layer that enables early intervention
Connect with Groups
Group Insights (Confidential Organisational Visibility)
Daily emotional signals are anonymised and aggregated into structured monthly reports for leaders and support roles. This provides real-time organisational visibility, early detection of psychosocial risk, and evidence-based decision making, without exposing individuals.
↳Transforms individual signals into organisational intelligence for proactive risk management
Connect with Support
Skilled Help (Structured Escalation Pathway)
When more support is needed, people can access trained Mental Health First Responders or professional services. This ensures clear escalation pathways, appropriate and confidential support, and early intervention before crisis.
↳Provides a formal escalation pathway aligned to duty of care
Core Model
The Bridge of Trust
Emotional Pulse builds a structured pathway that removes the need for a leap of faith.
Without This Bridge
- ✕People must take a leap of faith in moments of distress
- ✕Most don't
- ✕Support is delayed until risk escalates
With This Bridge
- People understand themselves
- They have trusted people to talk to
- They know where to go for help
AI-Supported
Support, Even When No One Is Immediately Available
The app also includes a voice-based AI guide trained in structured support frameworks. This guide can help a person:
Navigate difficult emotions
Reflect on what they need
Work out the next step
Connect with the right support person
The AI is a guide and bridge, not a replacement for human support. It helps people take the next step toward the right person.

What leaders see, and what they never see
Entries are encrypted. People choose who they connect with; there is no forced sharing. For employees it is early access to support. For leaders it is visibility without breaching trust.
Leaders see
- Organisational patterns and hotspots: which teams are shifting, in which direction, over time
- That check-ins are happening across the organisation
- De-identified monthly reports for leaders and support roles
Leaders never see
- ✕Individuals or specific responses
- ✕Who said what
- ✕Anything a person did not choose to share
Where a group has someone in the Mental Health First Responder role, that person receives the app's monthly report for the group so they can reach out to people who may want a conversation.
Who it is for
For organisations
Group hierarchy, monthly leadership reporting, Microsoft Teams integration, and the evidence that check-ins are happening across every team.
For individuals
Free, always. A mood tracker built for connection with the people you trust.
Emotional Pulse for individualsBetween the calls, after the training
Part of one model
The proactive check-ins use the app to keep the channel open between calls: a regular cadence of reflection that keeps your EAP proactive. Mental Health First Responders use it to see who in their group may want a conversation, and to be reachable when someone needs them. Each solution stands on its own. Each makes the others easier. Start where you are.
