CWRU HeartBit app

CWRU HeartBit offers an easy-to-use platform for study participants to complete behavioral surveys tailored to their respective study groups. Additionally, it enables participants to export and transfer digital health data seamlessly to our research team. The app features an intuitive calendar view and detailed charts to display survey results, enhancing user engagement and data visualization. The app gathers a variety of your health metrics, such as steps taken and heart rate, from multiple wearable devices across all authorized scopes.
