A new scientific statement examines how technology-enabled, mobile devices and interventions can help improve cardiovascular health behaviors.

Nearly 130 million adults in the U.S. have some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and CVD is the number one cause of death.

Social drivers of health that negatively impact cardiovascular and overall health outcomes include lower socioeconomic status, insufficient health care access and housing instability.

Use of wearable devices and apps to improve sleep is high across all sociodemographic groups.

But technology-based sleep health interventions are not equally effective among people in all racial and ethnic groups.

Language barriers and cultural relevance are also factors to consider when developing and testing digital health technologies for people in under-resourced communities.
