Noctua Care

Noctua Care supports you day to day with coronary artery disease. The program runs in an app and helps you in the stretch between cardiology appointments. It works on the habits that matter most for your heart: medication, food, movement, sleep and stress.

The content follows European Society of Cardiology guidelines. A new module opens each week. Inside it you get short pieces to read or listen to and one goal for the week. If your clinician has asked you to take readings, you log them in the same place. Nothing is timed, and nothing is added to your prescription.

Mainly for the period after a heart attack and for ongoing coronary artery disease. It also fits after a stent or a bypass, with diagnosed coronary artery disease or high blood pressure, or while you are taking blood-pressure medication.

Availability in the US

Not yet. The program runs in France, and we are preparing the US launch. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when it opens. You get one email, not a newsletter.

We would rather not name a date we cannot keep. The launch depends on steps that are not entirely ours to schedule. Once the date is set, the waitlist hears first.

Noctua Care is CE marked as a medical device in the European Union. That statement covers Europe only and says nothing about US regulatory status. Working that through is part of what comes before a US launch, and we will say plainly where it stands when it launches.

The program

It is if you have had a heart attack, a stent or a bypass. It is also if coronary artery disease or high blood pressure has been diagnosed, or if you take blood-pressure medication. If you are unsure, ask your cardiologist. They have your history.

If you do not have a smartphone, or you are not comfortable using apps. It is also not an answer to symptoms you are having now. In an emergency, call 911.

No. Nothing is required, and everyone moves at their own pace. The modules are built to work together, so the more you take in the clearer the effect. One module you actually do still beats a program you abandon.

Twelve weeks, and you can extend it. We recommend extending, because new habits only hold with time.

Treatment and medical care

Yes, that is the point. The program supports your treatment. It does not replace it and never changes it. Do not change anything you have been prescribed without talking to your clinician.

Yes, you can use it on your own. It replaces neither your cardiologist nor your primary care clinician. Noctua Care does not diagnose and does not adjust treatment.

At contact@noctua.care. We will send the content outline, the guidelines it draws on, and where the device stands with regulators.

Your data

It is stored in France with a certified health-data host, and processed only in France and the EU. We do not sell it. What is collected and what rights you have are set out in the app's privacy policy.

Write to contact@noctua.care. It is the same address for questions about the program, about your data, or to exercise your rights.
