  • (a) Come up with your own ideas. We know you have them, so make yours come to life. Don’t simply copy the latest popular app on the App Store, or make some minor changes to another app’s name or UI and pass it off as your own. In addition to risking an intellectual property infringement claim, it makes the App Store harder to navigate and just isn’t fair to your fellow developers.

  • Original ECG+ screen layouts, navigation flows, and report presentation formats

  • Original visual arrangements for ECG findings, rhythm pattern displays, interval measurements, and ECG summaries

  • Original educational explanations, wording, feature descriptions, help content, and interpretive guidance

  • Original screenshot compositions, graphics, illustrations, icons, labels, and App Store creative materials

  • Original software implementation, source code, algorithms, data presentation logic, and interaction design

  • Original feature concepts as expressed through ECG+ specific design, structure, copy, and presentation
