Why CardioVista
Built for Hearts, Not Calorie Counting
Most health apps track what you eat or how you sleep. CardioVista connects your heart rate, oxygen, sleep, weight, and medications — and tells you what it all means for your heart.

Cardiac Intelligence
Your whole heart picture, at a glance
CardioVista doesn't just show numbers. It connects your heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep quality, weight trends, and daily check-ins into one unified view — so you can see what matters without a medical degree.
- Heart rate, HRV, blood oxygen, and blood pressure in one dashboard
- Daily check-in tracks breathing, swelling, energy, and weight
- AI-powered trend analysis spots patterns across all your vitals
- Plain-language explanations for every metric
Medication Management
Medications built for cardiac patients
Heart patients often take 5-10 medications daily. CardioVista organizes them by time of day, tracks adherence, logs side effects, and reminds you when it's time — because missing a dose of a blood thinner isn't the same as missing a vitamin.
- Smart reminders grouped by morning, afternoon, and evening
- Adherence tracking with calendar view
- Side effect logging linked to specific medications
- Include medications in PDF reports for your care team
