About Heartpedia
Congenital heart defects can be difficult to visualize and explain. Heartpedia, created by Cincinnati Children's Hospital, allows you to interact with 3D models of pediatric heart anomalies and defects. Healthcare providers may use these anatomically-correct models as visual learning tools to help educate patients and families on specific defects and repairs. Heartpedia may also be helpful to patients and families who want to learn more on their own or to share the details of a defect with concerned friends and family. Cincinnati Children’s believes that supplying the right information and tools ultimately results in the highest level of care and the best outcomes.
FEATURES

• Tetralogy of Fallot
• Coarctation of the Aorta
• Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
• Transposition of the Great Arteries

• Patent Ductus Arteriosus
• Atrioventricular Septal Defect

For some reason on our teaching tablet for the residents the images are just pink blobs. Great concept but a pink outline of a heart isnt helpful. May be the tablet (galaxy) but doesnt work

Looks like an amazing app and works well on my iPhone. ......but all that comes up on my Samsung tablet is picking know blobs. Not useful at all. Please fix it

This would be great if the hearts weren't fully pink! The information is still really useful - but I preferred it when I could see the heart properly.

Downloaded this app after seeing it on a surgeons phone, however on mine after selecting the condition the app just closes. Would rate higher if it worked properly on my phone (Galaxy S3).

There aren't enough defects on this. My l.o has ASD, VSD, Tricuspid atresia aortic stenosis and thought this app would've been great to show others what happen in his heart everyday. This being said this app has huge potential!

I would love to see more defects. My daughter has Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and multiple aortopulmonary collaterals with vsd. It would be nice to be able to see a 3d image of this.

As a junior doctor this is a godsend! Detailed, anatomically correct 3D images of the normal, defective and surgically repaired heart with the fantastic video explanation make it so much easier to understand CHDs. I would recommend this to my colleagues and parents of patients

I love this app. I use it a lot. It's interesting to see how a heart that's malformed looks before and after surgery. The explanations are very understandable, even if English is my second language. Also, it's a great help when explaining what was wrong with my heart. Great job, well done. I hope you will add other CHDs as well...

Pulmonary atresia is my sons specifically, and there's nothing illustrating it would give it 5 stars otherwise!

I wish it had Hypoplasic Right Heart Syndrome. But over all I like it. My son has had 2 open heart surgeries. And it's hard to explain to others what exactly is wrong. They don't really get it and it is hard to explain without pictures
