Abstract

Digital health tools have the potential to support patients in managing their chronic diseases. Recently, Ullrich and colleagues (2025) introduced PreventiPlaque, a mobile health application that provides patients with up-to-date ultrasound images of their carotid plaques and tracks their lifestyle habits. Through a randomized controlled trial, the authors provide evidence of PreventiPlaque’s efficacy in improving patients’ cardiovascular risk profiles. This study highlights the potential for digital health interventions to provide personalized health information to patients and empower them to take actionable steps to improve their cardiovascular health.
