In the U.S. one in every three deaths is related to heart disease or stroke, which, according to the CDC, equals 2,200 deaths per day or 800,000 deaths per year. Figures like this drove Enspektos to look at where people are searching for and encountering heart disease related information online. To take it one step further, we wanted to know if this online content was going to change their heart health behavior and lead to people taking preventative measures than can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

An early analysis of data collected via digihealth pulse gave us specific insights into creating online content which is most successful at persuading people to take steps in preventing heart disease.
