CathMaps+ Cardiac Event Assistance: Cath Lab Locater & Cardiac Medical Record Storage

CathMaps+ is the cardiologist-approved mobile app for people with a history of heart problems that integrates their cardiac medical records with an interactive map of catheterization facilities around the world, thus allowing them to live their lives with greater freedom & peace of mind.
Created by a cardiology patient for cardiology patients, CathMaps+ was developed with input from numerous experts including Dr. Jack Stroh (MD, FACC, FACP, FSCAI), Dr. Jonathan Balkin, & Dr. David Meerkin to help save precious minutes in a cardiac emergency. The app provides tailored emergency tools in case of a follow-up incident such as a heart attack, allowing users to securely access, manage, & share their medical records with friends & family, and locate the nearest cath labs in many countries around the world.
THE CATHMAPS+ APP PERFORMS THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS:
• Dial Emergency Services: At the press of a button, CathMaps+ automatically identifies and dials the local emergency phone number wherever you are in the world. This functionality is especially important for travelers.
• Locate the Nearest Cath Labs: CathMaps+ provides directions to the closest Cath Lab location in most parts of the world through other apps like Waze and more, as well as contact details & other information for these facilities. It’s easy to find the nearest lab with CathMaps+.
• Store & Share Your Cardiac Medical History with Doctors: Upon arrival at a Cath Lab, it is vital that the medical personnel have access to your full medical history (cardiac and otherwise) to ensure more informed, personalized, and effective treatment. With CathMaps+, this information (type of stent, which artery it is implanted in, etc) is instantly available and easily shared upon arrival at a medical facility or in advance through email, so that precious time isn’t wasted trying to find important information. Your medical history can then be easily updated after each visit to a clinic or cardiologist, and our web site can provide more assistance in ease of uploading medical records.
• Share with Family Members: Often in the case of heart attacks or other cardiac events, patients are unable to perform life-saving functions on their own because of their heart issue. In such situations, a family member or friend may accompany you to the hospital. The CathMaps+ app allows you to share your medical records with a friend or family in advance, so they can share the information with doctors in an emergency situation. In this way, the doctors will know where stents have been inserted and when.
• Update Medical Records: You can easily update your medical records at any time by simply entering the details of recent appointments, medication changes, procedures like angiograms or an angioplasty, or other medical episodes. You can also scan or take a photo of important documents such as an EKG from your phone and upload them to the app for safekeeping in case of another cardiac event in the future.
