Health app maker Hello Heart has raised $1.3 million in a round led by Resolute Ventures with participation from a few angel investors, including Waze CEO Noam Bardin, BlueRun ventures Co-founder John Malloy, and Facebook Product Director Ran Makavy.

The Redwood, California-based company aims to make it easy, painless and “even fun to track and understand your medical data.”

The service can automatically pull information from various medical records it’s stored in.“Most people are worried about their health but struggle to collect and understand all the numbers and readings,” said Hello Heart CEO Maayan Cohen. “In fact, 50 percent of Americans are unable to understand if a simple out-of-range result in their lab reports is good or bad. We change that.”

Available for iPhone users only, Hello Heart’s app helps patients aggregate and make sense of their lab data. The service can pull information from various medical records it’s stored in, for example, helping patients understand their diabetes risk, hypertension and cholesterol levels. According to the company, the app is already integrated with health records systems that are used by more than 50 percent of US hospitals and clinics.

Beyond automatic data retrieval from EHR systems, Hello Heart also allows users to manually enter their blood pressure data or sync the data from smart blood pressure monitors that sing along Apple’s HealthKit platform.

The company plans to join the “Apple Watch craze” once the wearable launches next month.
