Check your heart rate at any time using your smartphone camera, identify risks early on, and discover personalised daily recommendations based on a 360° view of your health. YOUR PERSONAL GUIDE TO GOOD CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH – SIMPLE, COMPREHENSIVE AND MEDICALLY RELIABLE. The Preventicus Heartbeats app measures your heart rhythm via your smartphone and helps you to identify and manage cardiovascular risks at an early stage. This certified medical device reliably detects signs of cardiac arrhythmias – such as atrial fibrillation – particularly when used regularly, with the aim of preventing stroke and dementia, amongst other things. If any abnormalities are detected, the ECG-comparable analyses can be quality-checked at the Telecare Centre (included in the Value Package), thereby supporting a follow-up consultation with a doctor. COMPREHENSIVE 360° HEALTH ASSESSMENT The 360° Health Compass included in the Value Package also provides a comprehensive overview of your well-being and potential emerging lifestyle risks relating to cardiovascular health, mental health, metabolism and mobility. This is achieved through targeted questionnaires, simple tests and advanced digital biomarkers derived from measurements taken via a smartphone camera. Subsequently, consistent, personalised recommendations tailored to everyday life help you maintain and improve your personal health and risk profile. WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR? The product is aimed at health-conscious and proactive individuals, particularly those of middle age and above, but especially those with or recovering from pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (stroke, heart attack, coronary heart disease) and sleep apnoea. It is also suitable for those with increased risks, for example due to being overweight or nicotine or alcohol consumption. GOOD TO KNOW As part of a stroke prevention programme, many health insurance providers cover the cost of the app for their policyholders and offer additional services. The highest data protection standards are a matter of course for us. Preventicus Heartbeats is one of Europe’s most rigorously validated technologies for atrial fibrillation screening, backed by more than 25 international studies. For over 10 years, it has consistently ranked among the top German health apps, with a customer satisfaction rate of over 96%. INTENDED PURPOSE The Preventicus Heartbeats app is used to detect cardiac arrhythmias in the form of a suspected diagnosis, and to determine and characterise heart rate. The following cardiac arrhythmias can be detected: absolute arrhythmia with suspected atrial fibrillation, extrasystoles and irregular heartbeats, heart rate with signs of bradycardia and tachycardia. The result obtained is only a possible suspicion (“suspected diagnosis”), not a diagnosis in the medical sense. The results obtained are for information purposes only and under no circumstances a substitute for personal diagnosis, advice, care or treatment from a medical or medically trained professional. You can find safety warnings in our instruction for use: https://www.preventicus.com/manuals-preventicus-heartbeats-app/ This app must not be used to make decisions in situations perceived as life-threatening (e.g. a heart attack).

This happened once before as well, and then it came back. Both times I lost access to my saved data and didn’t get a refund. Still, I keep hoping it will come back. ### 2/5 — Can’t buy the full version *2021-12-15, version 1.6.15* Maybe this app is great but when I try to buy the full version it says I have to have an icloud account. I have an iCloud account and have bought other apps just fine. I can’t find anyway to contact you inside the app so I am hoping for a response here ### 2/5 — Can’t get back into my account *2021-12-02, version 1.6.15* I would rate the app higher but it logged me out of my account days ago and I can’t get back in with correct username and password. No way to contact customer service about the issue and I paid for premium ### 1/5 — Free version seems like a scam *2021-11-14, version 1.6.15* I have the Apple Watch six which has provided me with many textbook normal ECC ratings over the last year or so. I decided to try this free version just for fun. It kept giving me indeterminate readings with no information and suggested I upgrade to the pro version. I deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2021-10-28, version 1.6.15* I get a good signal, it measures fine, then says it can’t provide any info. It says “problems occurred during communication with the server (no session token found).” Then to try again (tried five times, same message) or contact account help, which I can’t find. So…essentially useless. ### 1/5 — Signal strength *2021-08-30, version 1.6.15* You’d have a better luck checking your heart rate and drawing the doc a picture of what you think is going on with your heart than you’ll ever have maintaining a signal with this app. Wasted money. ### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone 12 Pro *2021-06-13, version 1.6.14* I have had the app for quite some time. However, when I up graded my device? The additional cameras do not work with the app. ### 3/5 — Great when it works *2021-06-04, version 1.6.14* I loved this app at first because it provided confirmation that I was feeling PVC’s when they occurred but also comforted me knowing it wasn’t more serious. I had a Holter monitor attached to me for a few days recently and received the same results but I couldn’t see it was happening on screen at the time I felt my heart flutter. I’ve had terrible health anxiety all year from my heart acting up. Unfortunately the app lately hasn’t detected enough signal to get a reading very often, and my internet is showing a perfect signal with high speeds so there’s no reason for it not to work. When there’s a signal at first but it keeps dropping throughout my reading it stresses me out more cause I feel like I’m messing something up (anxiety I know, but I want this app to comfort that with a reading). If that could approve I would say this app is perfect for what I need. ### 1/5 — Telecare report -STAY AWAY total rip-off *2021-03-23, version 1.6.13* I had some arrhythmia’s detected in my heart rate, so I paid an extra $28 to have it evaluated by telecare specialist. The report has zero extra medical info provided. It just restated what is already on the report after heart rate measurement is completed. What a waste of my money, I paid $5/month for the 5 min advanced heart measurement already. What a horrible way to make customers think they are actually getting valuable medical advice. I paid $28 for a report that literally had no extra advice or info, for nothing. ### 5/5 — Helps check my heart *2021-02-03, version 1.6.13* I use this to monitor my heartbeat and it works very well you can save the report to show your doctor so they can see what is going on ## Frequently asked questions about Preventicus Heartbeats. ### What does the Preventicus Heartbeats app do?
