SIR Guidelines vs My Steps Walking

The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) Guidelines app is the go-to source for SIR’s published guidelines and statements at your fingertips. SIR Guidelines is free to use and allows healthcare workers to quickly access evidence-based recommendations in an easy-to-use point of care format intended to simplify clinical decision-making. The app includes an interactive periprocedural recommendation calculator that generates scenario-specific anticoagulation and antibiotic recommendations based on the SIR consensus guidelines. Users can input medications and patient factors to generate recommendations tailored for the patient’s and procedural bleeding risk. The Clinical Practice Guidelines for IVC Filters provide evidence based guidance for the management of patients with thromboembolic disease. The app will be continually updated to include new Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) and tools to assist in clinical decision-making.

My Steps Walking supports a structured walking program for people living with peripheral artery disease (PAD), from the Global PAD Association. Walking is central to living well with PAD, and this app is built to make each session easy to record and easy to share with your care team. RECORD EVERY WALK Start a session and the app keeps time while you walk. Mark when discomfort begins, rest when you need to, then continue — the app tracks each part of the cycle so you can see the full picture of your session. SEE YOUR PROGRESS After each walk, review your steps, session time, time spent walking, time at rest, and how long you walked through discomfort. Over weeks, your history builds into a record you and your clinician can look at together. THE 6-MINUTE WALKING TEST Take the standard 6-minute walk on your own schedule, whenever you and your care team want a checkpoint. Stop any time — your walk still counts. NOTE HOW YOU FELT Tap to record symptoms after a session — calf cramping, thigh pain, foot numbness, heaviness, and more — or add a note in your own words. TRACK YOUR NUMBERS Keep blood pressure, weight, and blood glucose in the same place as your walking history. THE GREAT CIRCULATION CHALLENGE Every September, walkers around the world combine their steps into a single 60,000-mile journey through the circulatory system. Join a team, follow the community's progress along 39 checkpoints, and learn how circulation works as each one is reached. CONNECT YOUR STEPS Link the Health app and steps you take outside a session count toward the Challenge automatically. We read step counts only — no other health data — and you can disconnect at any time. PRIVACY Your walking history and any vitals you enter are visible to you and your own care team. We never sell your information, we show no ads, and the app does not collect your location. ABOUT My Steps Walking is provided by the Global PAD Association, a patient advocacy organization. This app records and displays your own activity. It is not a medical device, does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and is not a substitute for care from your clinician. Always follow the guidance of your own care team, and seek medical attention for any concerning symptoms.
