The application

The “forMyHeart” application is addressed to individuals suffering from arterial hypertension/CVD, as well as to treating physicians and nurses. The aim of the application is to provide support for comprehensive and personalized self-management of the disease.

The application assists users with hypertension in the self-management of their condition and supports their decision-making process through the collection, recording, and monitoring of their health data over time. It serves as a tool for recording and analyzing user data and measurements, as well as for generating outcomes that reflect daily progress in relation to specific goals set by the user.

The application supports the patient-user through motivational and/or warning messages, depending on their measurements, and also sends an SOS notification to predefined contacts (relatives, friends) in the event of a potential risk.

Additionally, the patient-user may, if they wish, grant access to their treating physician so that the physician can monitor the data and measurements recorded in the application. In this way, the physician can provide immediate care and support to the patient, while simultaneously reducing costs, time, and the need for travel between them.

The objectives

The objectives of the application are the utilization of innovative approaches and cutting-edge technologies for:

Easy recording, monitoring, and management of data that affect the disease
Detection and management of atrial fibrillation episodes
Support for CVD patients in decision-making, medication adherence, and education/information about the disease
Strengthening patient–physician communication
Immediate physician feedback in cases requiring attention
Comprehensive remote monitoring of patients by physicians

Optimization of delivered healthcare services
Support for the patient’s family and close social environment
Analysis and utilization of medical data by academic/clinical institutions
Integration with third-party apps/devices for more complete management of the disease and comorbidities (e.g., diabetes)
Enhancement of research in the field of cardiovascular diseases through digital applications (mHealth)
Networking between medical-sector organizations, enabling coordination of joint actions for mutual benefit
