Description

The AHA ACLS app is the American Heart Association's (AHA) officially endorsed digital health solution to assist clinicians in running codes and delivering bedside ACLS care with actual patients. The app was developed by Harvard-trained physicians, in collaboration with the AHA, to help fellow physicians, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and EMTs deliver the highest level of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) at the point-of-care. It began as a project to assist clinicians within Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital—and then expanded to have a global scope after significant positive impact was demonstrated. Importantly, real-time feedback from our clinician users continuously drives improvements in app design, features, and function so that you will have the best experience providing life-saving care at the bedside. The AHA ACLS app is the only one to have all content vetted by both the AHA science team and practicing Harvard-affiliated physicians. It also features the latest 2025 release of AHA recommendations for ACLS. We owe it to our patients to use the best digital health tools to give them the highest chance of surviving acute life-threatening cardiac illnesses. To this end, we have developed a low cost, intuitive, and rigorously vetted mobile app to assist clinicians— including in all stages of training—and enhance ACLS care at the bedside. Features: - Intuitive design to rapidly access 4 ACLS algorithms (i.e. cardiac arrest, tachycardia with pulse, bradycardia with pulse, and post cardiac arrest care) - Includes all recently released 2025 ACLS content including drug therapy and dosing, reversible causes, etc. - Easy-to-read timers and ability to log rounds of CPR, epinephrine, and defibrillations - Button within cardiac arrest algorithm that allows for rapid transition to post cardiac arrest care pathway once patient achieves ROSC - All content rigorously vetted by AHA science team and practicing Harvard-affiliated physicians We continue to iterate based on real-time clinician feedback, so that you will have the best experience providing life-saving care at the bedside. AHA ACLS offers an auto-renewing annual subscription at $3.99/year with a 3-day free trial. You will have unlimited access to all content while you maintain an active subscription. Payment will be charged to the credit card connected to your Apple ID Account when you confirm the initial subscription purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current subscription period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. You may manage your subscription and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to your Account Settings after the purchase. Any unused portion of the free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription. You can read more about our terms and conditions in the app.

  • Awesome app to aid with codes

    Great new content and features! Couldn’t imagine running a code without it
  • Worth the few bucks

    Used this during a code as a paramedic intern with 4 other paramedics present and they appreciated the fact that it made tracking times and time stamping drugs easier than messing with the sub-menus of the LP35. The summary report made it easy to complete my PCR afterwards without having to guess what happened at what time into the code. Improvement suggestion: be able to store multiple logs with dates.

    Why is a life saving app blocked by a subscription cost?
  • Locked out middle of code

    I PAY for the subscription and I was locked out of the app mid-code. Fix this ASAP this is so dangerous!
  • Essential tool for ER Nurses

    Its $2.99/year subscription fee is worth $$$ to support this app. As a new grad nurse, I was the recorder when a code came in to our ER. It had been some time since I was on the code team, and I had also bought a new phone, so my previous apps were no longer available. I stumbled across this app during the prep and immediately felt reassured. The most updated algorithms were in the palm of my hands. My only suggestion for improvement is that the log reflect the actual time for timekeeping.

    Just downloaded this. But I do not see the LVAD algorithm on this. Why was that not included?
  • Good but could be better

    Good interface and appreciate it being the most up to date. Overall worth the money, if only because you aren’t as likely to lose your phone as the ACLS paper cards. That said, the code “log” could be more detailed. Other similar apps include “events” where IO/central line access, insulin, PEA, VT, VF, asystole etc can be documented. Codes are chaotic as is - this log should help debriefing and documentation.
  • Subscription for an app that doesn’t load

    Having to pay a subscription fee for the app is already rough, but for one that doesn’t load the info into is insane.
  • Paywall life saving algorithms

    Should be illegal to paywall this
  • Sad

    It’s sad that a company as rich as MGB would lock such a simple and life-saving app behind a subscription based paywall. It’s honestly bad PR if anything.
