The concept for A mobile app designed to identify individuals at highest risk for an acute cardiac event. A smartphone-based platform would combine user-inputted warning signs/symptoms data with demographic data, physiologic measures such as heart rate and blood pressure from biometric sensors, and a smartphone-generated ECG to generate a risk score for impending acute cardiac disease. Novel platforms for noninvasive monitoring of biomarkers could be integrated, once these are developed and validated. This could provide an individualized recommendation for whether an individual should seek emergent, urgent, or non-urgent evaluation by medical personnel.
