Se trata de sistematizar y protocolizar la evidencia científica disponible sobre el manejo del SCA de las guías de práctica clínica de la Sociedad Europea de Cardiología. A su vez, los diferentes algoritmos de actuación se implementarán en una herramienta informática sencilla y de fácil utilización en cualquier soporte electrónico (teléfono móvil, tableta u ordenador). El objetivo es homogeneizar la asistencia del proceso SCA entre todos los profesionales implicados en el manejo del mismo. El proyecto ha sido desarrollado por reconocidos expertos en el manejo del SCA y ha sido avalado por la Sociedad Española de Cardiología. Su contenido tiene un carácter integral y abarca, por tanto, todo el proceso, desde el comienzo de los síntomas a la prevención secundaria en fase crónica.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SCApp at none against Mensa Guide's 2. SCApp also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.0). Mensa Guide's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
