Portland, Oregon – Semler HealthPerks (SHP) has launched Dr. Semler’s HeartPerks 2.0 for iOS and Android, the first interactive app that deals directly with preventing heart disease. Semler HealthPerks Founder and CEO, Dr. Herb Semler, M.D., M.S., F.A.C.C, F.A.H.A., developed this easy to use application to educate and motivate users to increase their physical activity. This is the first interactive mobile App developed by a Mayo Clinic trained cardiologist, providing information on the causes and prevention of cardiac disease and heart attacks, the #1 cause of death in America.

The “Ask Dr. Semler” section answers frequently asked questions about various heart conditions and medical terms and provides electronic access to Dr. Semler. The weekly updated “Advice” section offers numerous tips on living well, eating well and staying healthy. Our Risk Assessment tool will give you guidance as to your risk for heart disease. Your daily steps will be tracked through integration with the Apple HealthKit for iPhone and through Google Fit for Android users.

According to the American Heart Association over 800,000 heart attacks occur in the U.S. every year. However, 80% of heart attacks can be prevented by healthy lifestyle choices.
