Byheart : a personalized heart-health companion

The number of people living with some form of chronic cardiovascular disease is growing worldwide. Studies have shown that people often lack sufficient information about their heart condition. This issue can be addressed by improving heart health literacy and by helping those with a chronic heart disease to understand and manage their condition so that they are empowered to make informed decisions regarding their health.

Although many existing online resources provide heart-health-related information, most fall short on providing actionable content—namely, nudges, prompts, reminders, and tracking features—that would help heart patients and their families make that information actionable in ways that would improve health outcomes. Byheart is a personalized heart health web and mobile companion that helps heart patients and their caregivers understand, track, and more effectively manage chronic heart conditions.
