We've got some exciting updates for you!

Our team has been hard at work on several projects. 

Hello Health eHeart Participants!

We're excited to share some great news with you! There's a reason for our radio silence over the last few months—we've been getting ready to launch the Eureka Mobile Research Platform, an online and mobile tool that will help participants and researchers work together to make groundbreaking discoveries. For wonderful participants like you, clinical studies will now be available right at your fingertips.

The Health eHeart team is collaborating with investigators to release several web studies on the Eureka platform. In the next few months, we will also be launching a dedicated mobile app (both iOS and Android); this will make it even easier for our participants to contribute data. As a Health eHeart participant, you will be invited to download the app.

Health eHeart is thriving and growing with each passing day. Check out our updates and highlights below to learn more about your contributions.

We continue to accomplish a lot together.

• 122,871 Participants enrolled and counting
• 11,367,874,100 steps taken—That's enough to walk around the world 173 times!
• 16 heart health studies in-progress, made possible by your participation
• 6 research studies published using Health eHeart data

Top Health eHeart News

• mRhythm Study—We are using the AppleWatch to develop new ways to detect atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias. We have over 10,000 Health eHeart participants providing data for this study, that could dramatically change the way to detect and manage atrial fibrillation. If you are interested, you can join here.
• Cut2Quit—Our team recently launched Cut2Quit, a study aimed to help people quit smoking. We've just started, but we are excited to see the results as this study progresses.
• Cardiovascular Fitness Test—Health eHeart reached out to more than 92,000 participants to use our cardiovascular fitness test (based on the 6 Minute Walk Test). We're now in the process of analyzing the data to find patterns and trends.
• Sleep and Smartphones—Findings from Health eHeart participant data published in PLoS One and featured on CNN highlights the relationship between smartphone use and reduced sleep quality.

• iSTOP-AF—With a grant from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute, we are conducting one of the first patient-driven research study in cardiovascular disease aimed at doing individualized trials (N-of-1 studies) to determine triggers of atrial fibrillation in specific individuals. We'll be recruiting Health eHeart participants to test specific environmental factors in order to better understand atrial fibrillation triggers.
• Microbiome and Heart Disease Study—With a grant from uBiome, the Health eHeart Study aims to learn more about how the gut microbiome affects heart disease. We will be inviting participants sometime over the coming months.
