AHA ACLS

Editor's Review

The AHA ACLS app 📱 is the American Heart Association's (AHA) officially endorsed digital health solution, meticulously designed to assist clinicians in managing codes and delivering top-notch bedside ACLS care. Developed by Harvard-trained physicians 🧑‍⚕️ in collaboration with the AHA, this app is a game-changer for physicians, nurses 👩‍⚕️, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and EMTs. It empowers them to deliver the highest level of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) right at the point-of-care.

Originally conceived to support clinicians within Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a prestigious Harvard Medical School teaching hospital 🏥, the AHA ACLS app has expanded its reach globally, thanks to its demonstrated positive impact. What sets this app apart is the continuous feedback loop from clinician users, driving constant improvements in design, features, and function. This ensures you have the best possible experience when providing life-saving care at the bedside.

The AHA ACLS app stands out as the only one with content rigorously vetted by both the AHA science team and practicing Harvard-affiliated physicians, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and reliability. It also features the latest 2020 release of AHA recommendations for ACLS, keeping you at the forefront of cardiac care 🧑‍⚕️.
