According to a study by the healthcare system, a smartphone app developed at John Hopkins is effective at reducing hospital readmissions of heart attack patients. The Corrie app, which is the first cardiology app built using the Apple CareKit platform, helps patients navigate their healthcare in the hospital and after discharge, including keeping track of medications, follow-up appointments and lifestyle changes needed after a heart attack.
