2026 June Product Update
The June 2026 update includes four key changes:
- Introduction of Narrative / Notes
- Updates to Chief Complaint field usage
- Full release of Pulsara Intelligence
- Improved User Management for Admins
The new Narrative / Notes feature changes how patient information is captured, particularly affecting the Chief Complaint field and your day-to-day use of Pulsara. Not to worry, we’ve got your back.
We have implemented these changes in a way that guides usage of the features, directly in the app. And, with the addition of Pulsara Intelligence, the detailed information in Narrative / Notes can be used to more quickly create patient channels that contain more structured data. Read on to learn about these exciting features!
Narrative / Notes
What’s New
- Detailed Patient Information: Narrative / Notes gives teams a dedicated place for capturing details like medical history, radio report information, vitals, labs, patient condition, and other relevant notes
- Ownership and Editing: The feature provides control over patient narrative ownership. All users from any organization on the channel can view any narrative, but only users whose organization added a particular narrative can edit it
- Narrative Instructions: This feature adds the ability to display patient type-specific guidelines for what should be included in the narrative.
- Requirement: This field is required whenever creating a patient in Pulsara (outside of an incident)
UPDATES to Chief Complaint
- Focus on Primary Concern: Chief Complaint is now only for a short primary concern like "chest pain" or "abdominal pain."
- Field Renaming and Visuals: The field was renamed from “Chief Complaint / Notes” to “Chief Complaint” and made visually smaller to convey its new intended use.
- Usage: Chief Complaint is no longer required for any patient type, but adding this information is highly recommended
- Character Limit: The field now accepts a maximum of 255 characters

Who’s impacted
- Anyone who creates or updates patient channels using Pulsara Mobile or Pulsara Web
- Team members who input or read the chief complaint and/or patient narrative information
Timing
- This change will be available in Pulsara Web on June 2nd
- This change will be available in Pulsara Mobile 72 on June 3rd
