BHF Data Science Centre: Have your say! Can you help develop a smartphone app to track heart health?

Researchers at the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Data Science Centre are seeking public views to help design a new app that could better study how activity levels vary with changing heart health.

The research team at the BHF Data Science Centre hope that a new app could give valuable insights into why heart and circulatory diseases develop and enable earlier diagnoses of these conditions.

To help design the app, they are seeking your opinion about what data to collect, and any concerns about aspects such as privacy.

Once the app has been developed, it will be tested to assess how well it tracks health information, and how this data can assist doctors in diagnosing heart conditions.

Everyone, regardless of their background or lifestyle, is welcome to participate in sharing their views.

The survey takes around 10 minutes to complete, https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/app_survey.
