Question 1

What cardiac conditions does CardioVista support?

Accepted Answer

CardioVista supports 13+ cardiac conditions including heart failure (HFrEF and HFpEF), atrial fibrillation, hypertension, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, and more. You can select your specific conditions during onboarding, and the app tailors your daily check-ins accordingly.

Question 2

How do I set up my health profile?

Accepted Answer

When you first open CardioVista, you'll go through a guided onboarding where you select your cardiac conditions, add your medications, and connect Apple Health. The whole setup takes about 3 minutes and you can update your profile anytime from Settings.

Question 3

Does CardioVista work without an Apple Watch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CardioVista works fully on iPhone alone. The Apple Watch companion app adds automatic heart rate trends, activity tracking, and wrist-based complications, but it's completely optional.

Question 4

How long does the daily check-in take?

Accepted Answer

Most users complete their daily check-in in under 60 seconds. You'll log symptoms, weight, and how you're feeling. If you have an Apple Watch, heart rate and activity data are pulled in automatically.

Question 5

How do I track heart failure symptoms on my iPhone?

Accepted Answer

CardioVista's daily check-in guides you through logging your weight, breathing difficulty, swelling, and energy level each morning. You can also add notes to a symptom journal throughout the day. The app monitors for changes over time and highlights trends that may be worth discussing with your care team.

Question 6

Is CardioVista good for someone newly diagnosed with a cardiac condition?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CardioVista supports 13 cardiac conditions and is designed to be approachable from day one. The guided onboarding helps you set up daily tracking, and the app helps you understand your health patterns over time — which can be especially valuable when you're first learning to manage a new condition.

Question 7

Is CardioVista free?

Accepted Answer

CardioVista is available as a one-time purchase on the App Store — no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads. You get every feature from the start, including Apple Watch support, medication tracking, and PDF reports.

Question 8

How do I add my medications?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Medications and tap the + button. You can search from a comprehensive database of cardiac medications or add a custom entry. Set dosage, frequency, and preferred reminder times.

Question 9

Can CardioVista remind me to take my medications?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CardioVista sends local notifications at your chosen times for each medication. Reminders also appear on your Apple Watch as gentle haptic taps. All reminders are processed on-device — nothing is sent to any server.

Question 10

What happens if I miss a dose?

Accepted Answer

CardioVista logs a missed dose in your timeline and notes it in your daily summary. It won't nag you repeatedly — you'll see a gentle indicator on that day's check-in. This data is helpful when sharing reports with your care team.

Question 11

Can I track supplements too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can add any supplement alongside your current medications. The same reminder and tracking features apply. Just add it as a custom medication with the dosage and frequency you take it.

Question 12

What can I do on the Apple Watch app?

Accepted Answer

The Watch app shows your daily check-in status, current heart rate, recent trends, and medication reminders. You can complete quick check-ins directly from your wrist and view complications on your watch face.

Question 13

Do I need my iPhone nearby for the Watch app to work?

Accepted Answer

The Watch app works independently for viewing data and completing check-ins. It syncs with your iPhone via Bluetooth when in range. All data is stored locally on both devices.

Question 14

What complications are available?

Accepted Answer

CardioVista offers complications for most watch face types showing your daily check-in status, latest heart rate, or a quick-launch button. You can add them from the watch face customization screen.

Question 15

How do I use CardioVista on Apple Watch?

Accepted Answer

Install the CardioVista Watch app from your iPhone's Watch app. Once installed, you can view your daily status ring, complete quick check-ins from your wrist, receive medication reminders as gentle haptic taps, and add complications to your watch face for at-a-glance health info.

Question 16

Does CardioVista send my data to the cloud?

Accepted Answer

No. CardioVista has zero network connectivity for health data. All your information is stored locally on your device using Apple's encrypted storage. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, and no servers involved.

Question 17

Can my care team see my data?

Accepted Answer

Only if you choose to share it. You can generate PDF reports from the app and share them via AirDrop, email, or any method you prefer. Your care team never has direct access to the app's data.

Question 18

How do I export my health data?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Export Data. You can generate comprehensive PDF reports covering any date range, or export raw data in standard health formats. All exports happen on your device.

Question 19

How do I delete all my data?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Delete All Data. This permanently removes all CardioVista data from your device. Since nothing is stored externally, deletion is instant and complete — there's nothing else to erase.

Question 20

How can I share health data with my care team?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Export Data and generate a PDF report. You can choose a custom date range and select which data categories to include. Share the report via email, AirDrop, print, or any sharing method your device supports. Your care team never has direct access to the app — you control what is shared.

Question 21

Why isn't my heart rate showing?

Accepted Answer

Make sure Apple Health access is enabled for CardioVista in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health. If you're using an Apple Watch, ensure it's paired and the CardioVista Watch app is installed. Heart rate data updates when new readings are available.

Question 22

How do I reconnect Apple Health?

Accepted Answer

Go to iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → CardioVista and ensure all permissions are toggled on. Then open CardioVista and pull down on the dashboard to refresh. Data should appear within a few seconds.

Question 23

The app isn't sending medication reminders

Accepted Answer

Check that notifications are enabled for CardioVista in iPhone Settings → Notifications → CardioVista. Also verify your medication reminder times in the app under Settings → Medications. If using Focus modes, make sure CardioVista is allowed through.

Question 24

Can I transfer my data to a new iPhone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Since all CardioVista data is stored locally on your device, it transfers automatically when you restore from an iPhone backup (iCloud or Mac/PC). Set up your new iPhone from your backup and CardioVista will have all your data intact.

Question 25

Does CardioVista work on iPad?

Accepted Answer

CardioVista is designed for iPhone and optimized for the iPhone display. You can run it on iPad using iOS app compatibility, but the interface is tailored for iPhone. Apple Watch features require a paired iPhone.
