Living with heart failure
Between check-ups, a lot comes down to guesswork. Sam reads activity, resting heart rate, and sleep from your Apple Watch and shows them against your personal baseline - giving you something concrete to bring to your care team.
Your data
Your wearable already captures them. Sam reads them from Apple Health and shows you how they shift against your personal baseline.
Sam reads the data your wearable already writes to Apple Health and compares it to your personal baseline - understandable, not a wall of numbers.
How many steps, how much movement, how much recovery? Sam summarizes what your wearable is already tracking - and shows whether your weeks are trending more active or more restful.
Sam shows how your activity, resting heart rate, and sleep are trending against your baseline - as an overview of your everyday life, not a medical assessment. For any physical symptoms, always talk to your care team directly.
Heart failure is closely monitored by your care team. The monthly PDF report gives them an honest look at your weeks between appointments.
Sam is a wellness companion, not a medical device. The app does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any illness and does not replace medical advice. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical decisions.
Sam translates your numbers into clear answers and a report you can take with you.
Instead of interpreting charts, you ask questions - Sam answers from your own numbers. For example:
The monthly PDF report sums up your weeks objectively - for appointments, applications, or simply your own record.

Cardiac rehab lays the groundwork for greater physical capacity - what happens next in daily life matters just as much. How to track your activity and recovery once the program's structure is gone.
Set up Sam for heart failure on Apple Watch, understand which metrics matter, and prepare wearable data for your next cardiology appointment.
Regular exercise is one of the highest-level guideline recommendations for stable chronic heart failure. Learn to recognize the warning signs of decompensation and when to seek immediate help.
Neither Apple Watch nor any wearable measures body weight or fluid retention. What resting heart rate and activity can show in heart failure, and why daily weighing is the critical tool that wearables cannot replace.
No. Neither your Apple Watch nor Sam is a medical device, and neither monitors disease progression. Sam only shows how your Apple Watch activity, resting heart rate, and sleep compare with your own recent weeks - as a starting point for a conversation with your care team. If you notice symptoms like shortness of breath or swelling, always contact your doctor directly.
Many care teams are interested in everyday activity and how well you tolerate exertion. That's exactly what your wearable already captures passively: steps, active minutes, resting heart rate, sleep. Sam turns that into trends you can actually understand.
No. Sam reads the data your Apple Watch or other wearable already writes to Apple Health. Once a week, you answer one short question - that's it.
The Apple Watch can flag possible atrial fibrillation through its irregular rhythm notifications and ECG app - these are regulated medical features from Apple, not a wellness feature and not part of Sam. Atrial fibrillation is considered a possible risk factor for heart failure, so a notification like this is worth taking seriously and discussing with your doctor.
Newer Apple Watch models offer a Blood Oxygen feature that estimates levels in the background - but Apple states it is not intended for medical use or diagnosis. Sam does not read this data; for questions about your oxygen saturation, your care team is the right place to ask.
