Read full description

vhHeart Echo is a health management app designed for viewing and analyzing heart rate and ECG data. After heart rate and single‑lead ECG data collected by Apple Watch are uploaded to Apple Health, vhHeart Echo can, with your authorization, read and sync these authentic health records. The app allows you to view current heart rate and heart rate trends over different time periods. It displays full ECG waveforms, Apple Health ECG classifications, signal quality, RR intervals, ECG parameters, and HRV (Heart Rate Variability) data. vhHeart Echo also supports local storage of ECG records, data update notifications, and the generation and sharing of ECG reports as images or PDFs. Health data is only accessed with your explicit authorization, and you can manage or revoke permissions at any time in your system settings. All analytical results provided by the app are for health tracking and reference purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or medical advice.
