Every day the app has something new for you: tips and tricks for reaching your goals.

A walk, a seated exercise or simply a moment to unwind. We help you reach your goal.

Feedback and review
How the day went, how you feel. Reflect on your goals and track your progress.
How François found a new rhythm
François has been using Noctua Care since his heart attack. The app helped him build a routine again and feel a little more independent each day.
His morning starts with a medication reminder and a look at what's ahead today. At lunch he reads a short lesson, on what his blood pressure actually means, for instance. And when there's time after work, he does a short exercise session or takes a few minutes to meditate.
Three months on, it's simply part of his day.
I recommend it to fellow patients to manage their condition.
The program
Your support
Noctua Care offers a personalized program covering everything that matters to you.
Emotional balance and sleep
Anxiety after a heart attack is common, and you can't reason your way out of it.
How it works
- Breathing and relaxation exercises of five to ten minutes, done sitting down.
- A one-tap daily mood check, with a trend you can see over weeks.
- Content on fear of another event, broken sleep, and how to talk about it with the people around you.
Adapted physical activity
The most effective lever you have, and the one people back away from at home.
How it works
- A starting point set by what you can do right now, never by a norm.
- Walking and strength sessions that step up week by week.
- Simple ways to judge effort, and the warning signs that mean stop and call for help.
Nutrition and cholesterol
A way of eating you can still be doing in ten years.
How it works
- Real meals and grocery lists, built on a Mediterranean pattern.
- What your cholesterol medication is doing, and why your target is set by your cardiologist and nobody else.
- Salt, alcohol, packaged food: what actually matters, and what isn't worth losing sleep over.
Medication adherence
Treatment doesn't end on the day you start feeling better.
How it works
- Your prescription entered once, then reminders at times you choose.
- What each class of medication does, in one plain sentence: antiplatelet, statin, beta blocker.
- A place to log side effects and bring them to your doctor, instead of stopping the medication on your own.
Personalized pathway
Two patients don't get the same program, even after the same heart attack.
How it works
- A short intake: type of event, how long ago, risk factors, whether you completed rehab.
- Module order and session intensity adjust to that profile.
- The program keeps adjusting as you go, based on what you do and what you report.
Built on medical expertise
Noctua Care was built with physicians, cardiologists and patients.
- Alliance du Cœur
- Collège National des Cardiologues des Hôpitaux
- Bordeaux University Hospital
