Abstract
Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases have been the leading cause of death worldwide. The American Heart Association defined eight metrics for cardiovascular health to reduce mortality. Mobile health tools can support shared clinical decisionmaking, provide tele-monitoring feedback, and improve patient adherence to medication regimens. This work aims to develop and implement the Cardiovascular Health application for mobile phones according to the parameters defined by the American Heart Association.
Methods: A user-centered design approach was employed using the Dart programming language, the Flutter framework, and a Firebase database.
Results: Each ideal parameter is evaluated as "good" when it meets the requirements, earning the patient one mark. Participants' cardiovascular health is subsequently classified as "good," "can be improved," or "needs to be improved," and PDF reports are generated.
Conclusions: The Cardiovascular Health application is built on a strong scientific foundation, given the high prevalence of individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease. It includes all components necessary to assess cardiovascular health and will enable physicians and other healthcare professionals to make more informed decisions regarding patient care.
