What is Carity?

Carity is a digital health service that enhances your cardiac rehabilitation. It is an approved medical device in Switzerland. With the help of an app and the data from your smartwatch (currently only with Apple Watch), Carity supports your cardiac rehabilitation and helps you lead an active and self-determined life.

Is Carity for me?

If you have experienced a cardiac event such as a heart attack or heart failure, and are starting or scheduled for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation, Carity could be for you. It’s ideal if you can manage an app and a wearable device, and your health condition allows for regular exercise. Your healthcare provider will recommend and help you get started with Carity at the beginning of your rehabilitation.

Patients about Carity

“Carity has become part of the whole rehabilitation process. It gave me stability and motivated me to still do something during the week. It becomes part of your whole daily routine (...) being able to constantly see what your heartrate looks like gave me confidence where I would otherwise have been more in the dark.”

- Christoph, 61

“If I had the app from the start of rehab, it probably would have made rehab more beneficial. Knowing that someone is monitoring the data almost made it better; otherwise, I was always traveling an hour for a two-hour training session that I could do at home.”

- Ernst, 63

“Carity has especially motivated me to continue hiking and being active after the rehabilitation.”

- Bruno, 79

“Carity drives you to be physically active and to adhere to guidelines. If I don't have to, then I don't do anything. It scratched my ego and ambition.”

- Karl-Heinz, 74

“Carity especially motivated me to follow what I was doing more closely... and to find out what my body was saying about it. Different and better than common fitness apps.”

- Roland, 68
