A Competitive Analysis of Heart Health Apps and Wearables

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. By measuring real-time data, mHealth apps, and wearables transform how users diagnose, treat, and manage chronic diseases. They enable users to manage their health actively, providing clinicians with valuable health insights. However, users face the challenge of identifying mHealth tools that meet their needs while providing a good user experience. This analysis aims to identify heart health apps and wearables in the DACH and major global players that are potential competitors to a start-up.
