CVICU-HeartMath 1.0.4

In this review, we will examine a newly launched iPhone application tailored specifically for healthcare professionals, particularly those involved in cardiovascular and intensive care units. This application is intended for use by medical students, residents, fellows, attending physicians, nurses, and advanced practice providers (APPs), with the goal of enhancing rounding experiences for users.

The app offers a variety of calculations that are essential in clinical settings, including:

1. Fick cardiac output and cardiac index
2. Pulmonary artery pulsatility index
3. Cardiac power output
4. Stroke volume

The advantages of this application are noteworthy:

• Ability to create personalized patient profiles
• Tracking of hemodynamic measurements over time
• Ongoing development of a comprehensive reference library containing educational materials

It is important to note that this application does not store identifiable patient data and is not HIPAA compliant, which means users should avoid inputting personally identifiable information.

Users are encouraged to suggest feature requests, as there are plans for future updates that may include graphical trends and sorting functionalities for patient profiles, as well as additional educational content.
