About Pulse
Pulse exists to make the care economy legible. Caregiving shows up in policy, research, advocacy, labor markets, benefits, local budgets, family life, and culture, but those signals rarely appear in one place. Pulse connects them.
The daily site is the written layer of that work: make care visible, trace the connections, and keep the evidence close.
It is published by GiveCare, which builds support for family caregivers.
Why it exists
Caregiving is often treated as a private family problem. It is also public policy, workforce infrastructure, disability access, child care, aging, gender, money, housing, health systems, and politics. Pulse looks for the connective tissue between those worlds, then names the pattern clearly.
The goal is visibility: to show how decisions made in legislatures, agencies, workplaces, research centers, advocacy groups, and local communities shape the daily reality of care.
Who it is for
Pulse is for anyone trying to understand where care is moving: caregivers, advocates, policymakers, researchers, journalists, employers, builders, and people who simply know the system is harder to see than it should be.
How it works
Each morning, Pulse scans recent public material across policy, research, advocacy, workforce, benefits, local news, national news, and culture/business coverage. We look for themes that matter beyond a single link, then publish a small set of briefs explaining what changed and why it matters.
Pulse is editorial synthesis, not original reporting. The headline and dek are our frame. The citation trail shows the evidence, with links to the original source material behind the brief.
What Pulse is not
Pulse is not medical advice. It does not provide caregiving recommendations, treatment guidance, or clinical information. It does not replace the source material it cites. It gives readers a way to understand why separate signals may belong to the same story.
Methodology
The daily search window focuses on recent public material about caregiving, long-term care, child care, disability support, paid leave, caregiver burnout, benefits, and the home-care workforce. The exact source set changes day to day.
Source categories include federal and state policy pages, lawmaker releases, public agencies, academic and research institutions, advocacy organizations, workforce and benefits publications, trade press, local news, national news, and culture/business coverage when it intersects with caregiving.
Current cited sources
This list reflects sources cited by the published Pulse archive, not a fixed allowlist.
Pulse publishes daily. Each piece has a permanent URL that accumulates updates as new signals emerge on the same theme.
The site is fully static: no tracking, no cookies, and no analytics beyond what Cloudflare provides by default.
