Leave the world a little better than we found it.

by

Hello everyone, I'm Christian van Gils, Co-founder of PulseBoard.

For my entire career, I've been a dedicated entrepreneur. I successfully built and ran a media agency for 12.5 years, followed by a software company that I recently and successfully exited after 22 years.

Now, I'm redirecting all of that experience, knowledge, and entrepreneurial drive toward a single mission: making 2026 a healthier year by focusing on people.

The Mission: Beyond Software

This time, the software isn't the main product—the human is.

We are building PulseBoard to predict and prevent the unexpected stress and burnout that leads to long-term sick leave. We achieve this with a simple 20-second check-in that monitors three crucial variables:

  • Mood

  • Energy Level

  • Workload

This quick, anonymous data allows us to monitor exactly how you, or your team, are truly doing, enabling us to detect the early warning signs of potential future sickness absence.

We Need Your Expertise and Feedback

We are now laser-focused on refining this predictive model and ensuring the user experience is flawless.

  • Who can help us with feedback on this topic? We are looking for insights from HR professionals, team leads, founders, and anyone passionate about ethical AI and employee well-being.

  • Who wants to try it out and give feedback? We are actively looking for early adopters and teams willing to pilot our Anonymous 7-Day Audit to help us stress-test the prediction engine.

Let's make this a success together and leave the world a little better than we found it.

@amy_ingram Thank you so much.

Great intent! For your 7-day audit, count me in.

And not just 7 days, if you ever need an external feedback for your product, I am willing to volunteer.

FYI, I have beta-tested a lot of products on PH, it's fun!

@christian_van_gils During onboarding, it's asking me to choose a plan (Free/Pro/Enterprise). I am assuming it's the Free plan you want me to sign up (for your audit), right?

Christian Van Gils

@ashok_nayak You can choose "Pro", so you have all the features to explore. It will not invoice you.

Is it for mental health benefits or work production purposes?
Christian Van Gils

@luke_glover It is for your personal well being in the first place!
If you feeling good and you monitor yourself, your Mood, your EnergyLevel and your Workload, we tell you the signals.
And if you feelling good, you have positive energy, for yourself, your team and your work.
So of course they are linked, but all start with your personal heartbeat control
