Where It All Started: Patricia McNamara sits for a test in 1952 as part of the Framingham Heart Study. The Health eHeart Study hopes to build off the advances made by that 65-year-old program, which continues today.
Researchers are launching a major study that will marshal the power of smartphones and other personal technologies in an effort to develop new strategies for preventing and managing heart disease.
The project, called the Health eHeart Study, will use tools such as smartphone apps, sensors and other devices to gather data on a wide variety of measures associated with cardiovascular health�including blood pressure, physical activity, diet and sleep habits�all in real time.
