STEMIcathAID vs Echo Calculate
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
STEMIcathAID
This medical app streamlines STEMI treatment by optimizing patient recognition, response, and record-keeping. It enhances communication and coordination among healthcare providers, reducing critical time to reperfusion for high-risk patients. Features include EKG upload, cardiogenic shock assessment, and live GPS tracking.
- EKG upload via smartphone
- Cardiogenic shock assessment
- STEMI patient transfer pathway
- Live GPS tracking of EMS
- HIPAA compliant encrypted collaboration
- Notification system for cath lab preparation

STEMIcathAID is a patient recognition, response, and record-keeping system designed to improve outcomes through adherence the American Heart Association’s Mission:Lifeline STEMI guidelines. Early restoration of blood flow to occluded coronary vessels has been shown to significantly improve outcomes for high-risk STEMI patients. STEMIcathAID aims to improve these clinical outcomes by optimizing their treatment following many of the recommendations of the AHA by reducing the time to STEMI recognition, lead acquisition, STEMI identification, notification of the catheterization lab, and reperfusion. There are multiple personnel and steps involved in caring for these high-risk patients. STEMIcathAID takes an algorithmic approach which will enhance the coordination and communication tasks essential to rapid assessment and easy transfer of STEMI patients from the field or outside facility. It will also provide protocols for the EMS or outside hospital provider to identify patients in cardiogenic shock even before their arrival in the catheterization lab. The application will integrate live GPS tracking of the patients alongside the time the alarm was raised prompting the sense of urgency in transferring the patient. Incorporating images, videos, illustrations, and live GPS tracking of the EMS, the design will be subdivided into three main sections: 1. EKG Upload by outside facility or EMS 2. Assessment of Cardiogenic Shock 3. STEMI patient transfer pathway When a medical provider, in the field, other hospital, or outpatient office, suspects STEMI, the provider uploads the EKG by taking a picture of it with their phone. Once the EKG is uploaded, the on-call attending at the PCI-capable facility receives a notification from the application. If the attending believes the patient is experiencing a real STEMI, the pathway is activated. Upon activation, the approximately 10-12 people involved in taking care of the patient are notified so they can begin preparations. Adhering to HIPAA compliance, all users log into the encrypted application and begin to collaborate such aspects as patient vitals, shock information, and emergency vehicle current location and estimated arrival time to the cath lab. Through the optimized communication and collaboration of multiple key players in the STEMI pathway, these time-critical, vulnerable patients can begin treatment promptly.

Echo Calculate is a clinical reference and calculation tool designed for echocardiography and cardiovascular assessment workflows. Quickly access structured calculators, reference ranges, patient measurement tracking, and trend-based follow-up tools in one place. KEY FEATURES Clinical Calculators Access organised calculation categories for: • Aortic, mitral, pulmonary and tricuspid valve assessment • Hemodynamics • Left ventricular function • Right ventricular function • Diastolic function • Body size calculations • Chamber size and indexing • Regurgitation assessment • Doppler utilities Patient Measurement Tracking Create local patient profiles and record dated cardiovascular measurements over time. Track values such as: • Aortic Valve Area (AVA) • Mitral Valve Area (MVA) • Pressure gradients • Body Surface Area (BSA) • Body Mass Index (BMI) • Doppler measurements • Chamber measurements • Additional echocardiographic parameters Follow-Up Overview Echo Calculate organises patient records into a clear follow-up overview, helping users review stored measurements and identify which records may require closer attention. Automatic Reports Generate structured summaries from saved measurements. Reports combine dated records, measurement values and trend information into an easy-to-read format. Clinical Reference Ranges Access organised cardiovascular reference ranges and supporting information directly inside the app. Fast Search Quickly find calculations and measurements using familiar abbreviations and terms such as AVA, EF, RVSP, PISA, E/e′ and more. Multi-Language Support Use the app in multiple supported languages through the built-in language selector. Designed for Practical Use Echo Calculate features a clean, structured interface designed for fast access during study, education and professional clinical workflows. IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCLAIMER Echo Calculate is intended as a calculation, education and clinical reference support tool. It does not provide a medical diagnosis and does not replace professional clinical judgement, medical examination, official guidelines or advice from a qualified healthcare professional. All calculated results and generated reports must be independently reviewed and interpreted in the context of the complete clinical picture. For medical concerns or emergencies, contact a qualified healthcare professional or emergency service.
