The American Heart Association has announced the winners of its inaugural CarePlan Challenge, recognizing three digital health innovators for creating solutions that transform cardiovascular care through technology integration. Research indicates growing patient acceptance of artificial intelligence-supported health interventions when backed by clinical expertise and evidence-based guidelines, creating opportunities for digital health expansion.
The challenge, hosted by the Association's Center for Health Technology & Innovation, invited developers and AI specialists worldwide to build digital prototypes integrating the organization's science-based CarePlans alongside tools like Life's Essential 8™ and the PREVENT™ Risk Calculator. Participants received API access to these resources to develop solutions that could improve preventive care, disease management, and patient engagement.
Submissions were evaluated based on innovation, technical implementation, user experience, and clinical impact by a panel of digital health and clinical research experts. The selected solutions include ConneQT's mobile wellness programs that link daily tasks, biometrics from the CONNEQT Pulse, and personalized goals to build heart-healthy habits. Porter Health offers a web-based tool delivering one-click PREVENT and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic health risk assessments with AI-assisted CarePlans. OneVillage provides women-focused virtual cardio-primary care combining physician visits, cardiac rehab, and supportive services into an 80-day personalized pathway.
These innovators are pushing the boundaries to build a brighter future of cardiovascular care, according to Dr. Seth Martin, American Heart Association volunteer and Johns Hopkins professor. Their prototypes aimed at using technology to turn science into action show significant promise in making evidence-based care more personal, accessible, and impactful.
The challenge champions will present their prototypes at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025 in New Orleans for additional expert feedback.
