Clinicians now have access to 'Quest', an app designed for healthcare professionals responsible for managing cardiovascular (CV) health.

AstraZeneca's new 'Quest' app gives clinicians access to hundreds of CV clinical trials which are searchable by trial acronyms, authors and medication. Clinicians can then select and annotate particular trials and share trial summaries with their colleagues, helping to make the exchange of clinical data easier and more accessible for healthcare professionals.

Market research conducted in 2010 demonstrated that clinicians wanted an app which allowed them to capture and save notes from presentations at medical congresses and share these insights with colleagues. The research also showed that clinicians wanted fast access to breaking CV news, at the touch of a button.

The app also features a live CV news feed, helping clinicians to keep their finger on the pulse when it comes developments in CV medicine and management.

UK healthcare professionals can download the 'Quest' App via a direct app link here. ACSunited is an acute coronary syndromes (ACS) specific website designed to facilitate cross discipline interaction amongst those managing the disease across the UK. First and foremost, the site is designed to help healthcare professionals create a social and professional network, allowing them to find colleagues up and down the UK who are also ACSunited members and share experiences.
