BlueLoop vs Cardio Valve
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
BlueLoop
This app facilitates real-time logging and sharing of diabetes information between children, caregivers, and healthcare providers. It offers an insulin calculator for consistent dosing and detailed reports for clinicians, providing peace of mind and improving care coordination.
- Real-time diabetes data logging
- Share information via email/text
- Online clinician portal
- Insulin calculator
- Dosing consistency
- Clinical outcome reports

BlueLoop® is the one and only tool that allows kids and their caregivers to log and share diabetes information - both online and with the app – real time, via instant e-mail and text message, giving peace of mind to parents, more class time for students, and fewer phone calls and paper logs for school nurses. Online, parents can share real-time BG logs with their clinicians, who can see logs (in the format THEY prefer), current dosages, and reports, all in one place. Our insulin calculator provides accurate and consistent dosing information between multiple caregivers both at home and at school. This precise dosing and documentation will aid providers in insulin dose adjustments to improve clinical outcomes.

And we equip them with the tools, peer support and education that is so important for families as they juggle coordinating care at home and at school" – Pam Henry, Founder and mom of a child with Type 1 Diabetes.
Cardio Valve
This tool assists echocardiography professionals in evaluating the function of implanted prosthetic cardiac valves. It offers guidelines for assessing existing valves and selecting the optimal valve before implantation, based on extensive research.
- Assess implanted prosthetic valves
- Select optimal prosthetic valves
- Evaluate normal function, mismatch, or dysfunction
- Calculate minimum Effective Orifice Area (EOA)
- Guidance based on published research

Cardio Valve is an innovative mobile tool developed to support echocardiography professionals in their effort of assesing the functionality of implanted prosthetic cardiac valves. The application provides guidelines for assesing an already implanted valve (Check Prosthesis) and for choosing a valve before implantation (Optimal Prosthesis). The algorithms behind the App have been derived after an extensive research of the published materials on the aortic and mitral prosthetic valve assessment. - Check Prosthesis After selecting a particular valve type, the patient characteristics (weight/height) and the prosthesis actual parameters (peak velocity, mean gradient, VTI prosthesis, VTI LVOT and LVOTd), Cardio Valve will provide the user with an answer regarding the normal function of the valve, the potential patient prosthesis mismatch or the intrinsic prosthesis dysfunction. - Optimal Prosthesis The user will be required to select a valve position (aortic/mitral) and the patient characteristics (weight/height) and Cardio Valve will instantly indicate the minimum Effective Orifice Area (EOA) in order to avoid Patient Prosthesis Mismatch (PPM).

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cardio Valve at 4.8 against BlueLoop's 4.0. Cardio Valve also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.4). BlueLoop's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (65% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cardio Valve holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlueLoop has 22 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of BlueLoop's written reviews are positive against 50% of Cardio Valve's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BlueLoop ships an update every 9 days, Cardio Valve every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 5, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
