About The Heart Lab
Know your heart
Mission
Heart-smart athletes
The Heart Lab empowers student-athletes with accessible, evidence-based cardiovascular health education so they can better understand their hearts, recognize potential warning signs, build healthy habits, and know when to seek medical help.
Vision
A culture that speaks up
We picture teams where every athlete knows the warning signs, every coach has a rehearsed emergency action plan, every family knows its heart history, and reporting a symptom is seen as strength — not weakness.
How we work
Our content standards
Evidence-based
Content draws on public guidance from organizations such as the AHA, CDC, NHLBI, AAP, and ACC. Every page lists its sources.
Clinically reviewed before launch
All medical content is marked “Clinical review: pending” until a qualified clinician has reviewed it. We never claim a review that hasn't happened.
Education, not diagnosis
We don't diagnose, assess fitness, or determine sports clearance. Simulations are clearly labeled as illustrations.
Built for every level
Learning paths for middle school, high school, and college athletes, plus resources for parents and coaches.
Encouraging, not frightening
We focus on empowerment and action. Stories are fictional composites and avoid graphic content.
Privacy-first
No accounts, no ads, no trackers. Learning progress stays in your browser.
