MY HEART FITNESS™ CLINICAL EVIDENCE

Clinical Evidence

Built on peer-reviewed science and real-world implementation.

MHF is built on peer-reviewed research, real-world clinical implementation, patent-pending platform development, and a responsible pathway toward future regulated clinical decision support.

Patent-pending Platform

Proprietary exercise-dose-to-projection methodology.

MHF's platform is patent-pending across its exercise interpretation, projection logic, and reporting framework. The methodology has been refined over years of real-world clinical implementation and is grounded in published cardiometabolic outcomes literature.

Detailed methodology and conversion logic are protected and not publicly disclosed.

  • Patent-pending. Exercise-dose-to-projection methodology.
  • Cardiology-designed. Built by a practicing cardiologist.
  • Population-informed. Grounded in published outcomes research.
  • Implementation-tested. Refined across 3,000+ patients.
  • Reporting-ready. Aggregate dashboards for partners.

Real-world Implementation

8+ years of clinical implementation experience.

MHF was refined through real-world implementation across clinical, community, employer, and research settings, including the operational learning that emerged from the Milton Cardiac Care program founded by Dr. Alter in 2010.

Setting 01

Clinical & cardiology programs

Integrated into a regional cardiology program serving 3,000+ cardiometabolic patients across community and hospital settings.

Setting 02

Employer & benefits

Implementation partnerships exploring engagement, activation, and projected value for organizational populations.

Setting 03

Research & quality improvement

Collaborations supporting validation, reporting frameworks, and evidence generation.

Regulatory Pathway

Building responsibly toward regulated clinical decision support.

MHF is currently operating as a cardiology-designed, educational, population-informed platform in an early implementation and evidence-generation phase. We are building toward regulated clinical decision-support pathways, including FDA and Health Canada SaMD validation.

MHF is not currently marketed as FDA-approved or Health Canada-approved clinical decision support. We are building the evidence, implementation experience, and regulatory strategy required for responsible future clinical use.
