The winning app, the Heart Health Mobile App developed by Wisconsin’s Marshfield Clinic, is now available for a free download for Apple products in the iOS AppStore. The app provides a risk assessment in response to a series of lifestyle questions, then directs users to nearby locations for cholesterol and blood pressure screenings, where possible. The user can take the assessment multiple times and track their changes. It also suggests actions users can take to reduce their risk of stroke and heart attack, and displays the percent by which an action — like quitting smoking, taking medication, or exercising more — can improve outcomes.
