Android Pulse, initially spotted as a mysterious app, is confirmed by Google to be a Google system service meant to monitor device health. An update has made Pulse visible in Settings, and Google describes system service updates as improving security, reliability, and features, stressing it’s an internal maintenance tool rather than something to worry about.
A Google Play Store listing for 'Android Pulse' reveals a Google-made background tool intended to monitor and report anomalous resource usage by apps and the OS. It’s reportedly three days old with over 10 million downloads, though APKMirror shows the component existed since March. You likely can’t uninstall it, and its purpose seems to be aiding stability rather than offering a user-facing feature.
