Vascular Walk is an exercise tracking and education app designed for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who are following a clinician-guided walking program. The app helps users follow a structured walking plan, track active walking time, log leg symptoms, record pain stops, and monitor progress over time. Vascular Walk emphasizes active walk time, separate from resting time, so users can better understand their walking progress during interval-style PAD exercise sessions. Features include: - A 6-month walking goal roadmap - Daily walking and strength training options - Pre-walk checklist with resting pain level - Active walk tracking with rest periods - Slow pace alerts by voice, buzz, notification, or both - Pain target education for PAD walking - Strength training day tracking - Weekly walk, strength, and rest schedule - ABI log, foot care log, and progress history - Apple Health and wearable data support where available Vascular Walk can help monitor a structured exercise program and encourage users to walk farther over time. Important: Vascular Walk is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or replace medical care. Use only with guidance from your clinician. Stop exercising and seek medical help for severe pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, stroke symptoms, new foot wounds, or symptoms your clinician has told you are urgent.

The call

On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
