Pulsus Group is a health informatics and digital marketing company and publisher of scientific, technical, and medical literature. It was formed in 1984, primarily to publish peer-reviewed medical journals. As of 2016, Pulsus published 98 hybrid and full open-access journals, 15 of which had been adopted as the official publications of related medical societies. Pulsus Group also conducts conferences in association with scientific societies.
Pulsus organized the G20 Health, G20 Pharma, and G20 Global Tech Summit Series across G20 nations to advocate for the integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare and technological advancements.
OMICS Publishing Group, an open-access publisher widely regarded as predatory, purchased Pulsus in 2016, causing controversy and putting the future of the journals into question. Pulsus was placed on Jeffrey Beall's list of "Potential, possible, or probable" predatory open-access publishers, before the list shut down in 2017.
