Mobile health applications (mHealth) can be used to prevent cardiovascular diseases. The HerzFit app, which was developed as part of the DigiMed project with the involvement of our employee Benedikt Perl, was evaluated for user-friendliness in a publication in the journal DIGITAL HEALTH. The development of HerzFit involved a user-centred design approach and guideline-based content creation based on the identified requirements of the target group.
The app is free of charge in the app stores for iOS and Android in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. With over 125,000 downloads within the first 22 months, the public showed great interest in our prevention tool.
