Golden Hour
Read full descriptionHide full description
Our app is intended for VETERINARY use only, for use with Golden Hour devices only, over Bluetooth Low Energy. It does not function independently. The app does not provide diagnosis, interpretation, or any medical guidance. It cannot be used to make clinical decisions, and it is not marketed or positioned as a medical tool. Veterinarians need rapid ECG results so they can provide precise and timely patient care. Golden Hour makes this possible through wireless communication (over Bluetooth) with the Golden Hour ECG Telemedicine Device. The ECG device is required for this app to function and the device can be purchased at https://goldenhourvet.com/store. This app and the ECG device are for veterinary use only. It is not intended for medical or human use. Once an ECG is acquired, patient data is entered in to a short user friendly form and the entire data file is quickly and efficiently uploaded to the Golden Hour secure servers and put in queue to be interpreted by our team of board certified veterinary cardiologists. Results can be obtained in minutes depending on the level of service requested. The Golden Hour app is designed exclusively for use by Golden Hour clients with a Golden Hour ECG Telemedicine Device. If you're not a healthcare professional using the app and the device, please consider consulting a healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Only healthcare professionals provide the most accurate medical advice or diagnoses.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Golden Hour at none against CPU's 1. Golden Hour also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
