Can a smartwatch help detect heart disease?

New research presented last fall at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions explored how artificial intelligence analyzed smartwatch ECG data to identify possible signs of structural heart disease. The findings are promising and point toward a future where technology may help flag risk earlier and prompt important conversations with healthcare providers.

But detection is only part of the story. When cardiac emergencies happen, preparedness still saves lives. CPR, AED use, and trained responders remain essential, no matter how advanced the technology becomes.

Innovation matters. Training matters more.

Are you responsible for others at work, school, or in your community?

If so, the difference between Heartsaver Basic and Heartsaver Total matters. While both courses teach lifesaving CPR and AED skills, Heartsaver Total includes First Aid training that prepares you for a wider range of emergencies.

Choosing the right course is not about checking a box. It is about being ready when it counts. Our instructors focus on practical, real-world training that builds confidence you can rely on.

At ACLS Academy, we help you choose the training that fits your responsibilities and leaves you confident, not uncertain.

Friday, February 6, marks Go Red for Women Day, a reminder that women’s heart health deserves constant attention, preparedness, and action.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women, and outcomes depend on how ready we are to respond when seconds matter. For medical professionals, preparedness means ongoing education, sharpened skills, and confidence under pressure. For communities, it means knowing how to act until advanced care arrives.

At ACLS Academy, training supports readiness at every level, from advanced life support for healthcare providers to CPR, AED, and First Aid education that strengthens the chain of survival for women everywhere.

Awareness matters. Preparation saves lives.

February is Heart Month, and awareness is only the beginning.

Most cardiac emergencies happen outside the hospital, at work, in schools, and in everyday community spaces. In those moments, the people who act first are rarely medical professionals. They are coworkers, teachers, coaches, and bystanders who chose to be prepared.

This Heart Month, turn awareness into action. Take an AHA Heartsaver CPR, AED, and First Aid course at ACLS Academy equips individuals and organizations with the confidence and hands-on skills to respond when it matters most.

Prepared people save lives. Prepared workplaces do too.

AHA Instructors — have you checked your Instructor Quality Score lately?

Your score is based entirely on student feedback, not paperwork or compliance, and it offers valuable insight into how learners experience your course. With a national benchmark score of 85, understanding where you stand can help you reflect, grow, and teach with confidence.

We’ve broken down:
✔️ What the Instructor Quality Score is
✔️ How it’s calculated
✔️ Exactly where to find it in the AHA Instructor Network

Our latest blog breaks it all down in more detail.

Three renewals. One training center she trusts.

Nurse Practitioner Lauren keeps returning to ACLS Academy for her BLS certification — not out of habit, but because every class delivers exactly what healthcare professionals need:
✔️ instructors with real clinical experience
✔️ clear, confidence-building skills practice
✔️ streamlined registration and flexible blended learning
✔️ convenient locations across Massachusetts

When your instructors have spent years on the front lines, the scenarios feel real, the guidance feels practical, and you walk out knowing you’re truly ready to respond.
That’s the ACLS Academy difference. 💙🩺

🌟 Building Safer Schools, Together 🌟

We’re proud to highlight our incredible partnership with Hanover Public Schools and Director of Health Services Carol Krall, MSN, BSN, RN, NCSN.

From BLS & HeartSaver Instructor training to PEARS certification and STOP THE BLEED, ACLS Academy has worked side-by-side with Hanover to strengthen emergency readiness across the entire district.

Thanks to Hanover’s dedicated nursing team—and ACLS Academy’s commitment to community support—more than 200 staff members now have lifesaving skills and confidence when it matters most.

And a major milestone from 2024 continues to make an impact today: PEARS training received ANA-approved CEUs, allowing Hanover’s nurses to build their pediatric emergency skills while earning continuing education credits for their professional development. 💙

Read the full story about how this partnership is elevating school safety district-wide and empowering staff through hands-on, meaningful, real-world training.

✨ A Year of Impact at ACLS Academy ✨

This past year was about more than classes and certifications. It was about leading with purpose, expanding access, and preparing people to act when it matters most.

✔️ 3,300+ students trained directly by ACLS Academy
✔️ 6,500+ trained through aligned AHA Training Sites
✔️ 1,200+ classes across three locations
✔️ 156 instructors united by a commitment to excellence

From earning a fourth AHA Training Center certification and adopting the 2025 CPR & ECC Guidelines early, to providing CEUs for nurses, training future clinicians, and delivering lifesaving education in communities near and far — this year reflected the heart of who we are.

We’re proud of the numbers. We’re even prouder of the impact behind them.

Here’s to another year of education, leadership, and lifesaving moments. 💙
