Designed to help patients prevent, manage, and treat their cardiovascular disease, CardioSmart provides access to accurate and unbiased information through a dedicated, advertising-free interface. Before using the website, patients must register; creating a profile allows the system to create an individualized experience. CardioSmart also comes with a medication reminder app to help patients who are regularly taking medications.
Patients who are taking medications on a regular basis can experience difficulty in strictly adhering to the schedules or the prescribed dosages. Although seemingly a small problem, missing a schedule or taking a wrong dosage can have a negative impact on one's health. The medication may not work as it's supposed to, or worse, it could be a threat to one's health. CardioSmart's medication reminder app aims to improve adherence to medication schedules to ensure that medications work optimally.
