The tala-med Cardio app was developed in collaboration with experts from various fields to make scientifically sound health information easily understandable and accessible via multimedia. It supports adults with increased cardiovascular risk in several languages in making lasting improvements to their lifestyle – with modules on exercise, nutrition, and smoking cessation.
