With the Preventicus Heartbeats medical app, you can check your heart rhythm in just one minute by placing your finger on your smartphone camera.

Who is the app suitable for?
Regular self-measurement of the heart rhythm is particularly suitable for people with an increasing risk of stroke:
- from the age of 65
- from the age of 55, if there are risk factors (e.g. high blood pressure, diabetes, heart stuttering, after a stroke or heart attack)
- according to a doctors recommendation

Purpose
The purpose of the app is to detect indications of cardiac arrhythmias. These include in particular:
- an irregular pulse with suspected atrial fibrillation
- the suspicion of other cardiac arrhythmias with frequent irregular heartbeats
- the determination of the heart rate (heart rate, pulse, pulse rate) with indications of a pulse that is too low or too high

Important notes
All results are tentative diagnoses, not a diagnosis in the medical sense. Suspected diagnoses do not replace personal consultation, diagnosis or treatment by a doctor.
This app should not be used to make decisions in situations that are considered life-threatening (e.g. heart attack).
